- BGP Routing Scalability: Reflectors Vs. Route Servers
- Autonomous systems need to be connected using BGP servers. To reduce the complexity of connecting these systems together, researchers have suggested that route servers or routing databases be used. While both route reflectors and routing databases offer significant scalability advantages over standard full mesh BGP, they also introduce problems in...

- Building nanowires to connect future chips
- As computer chips are getting smaller and smaller, it becomes crucial to find new ways to connect them. Canadian researchers have developed a method to produce self-assembled nanowires that are 5,000 times longer than they are wide. They've been able to obtain nanowires measuring only 10 nanometers in width, but...
