"ANTI-TERROR: Infrared camera enlisted to battle bioterrorism"
A compact, powerful way to perform infrared spectroscopy could speed the quest for ubiquitous organic sensors to head off bioterrorist attacks. In 10 milliseconds, the shoe-box sized planar-array infrared (PA-IR) spectrograph identifies airborne chemical and biological weapons by deriving a unique "signature." By contrast, today's methods, using laboratory-scale Fourier Transform IR (FT-IR) spectrographs, can take up to 30 minutes.

Cognitive computers—cognizers—aim to instill human-like intelligence into our smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices using microchips that emulate the human brain. Dubbed the “Future of Computing” by the NYTimes, one of the “Best Innovation Moments of 2011” by the Washington Post and one of “10 World Changing Ideas” in a Scientific American cover story “A Computer Chip that Thinks” this book reveals how neuroscience and computer science are merging in a new era of intelligent machines light-years beyond Apple's Siri, IBM's Watson.
