"NANOTECH: Nanotubes self-assemble into circuit elements"
Hicham Fenniri describes his experimental nanotubes measuring just 100 atoms in diameter have been created from designer molecules that were customized to self-assemble into angstrom-sized circuit elements, according to researchers at Purdue University.

"FPGAs: Self-configuring array enables atomic-scale fabrication"
A next-generation configurable circuit architecture is being proposed by a group of designers at startup Cell Matrix Corp. The architecture goes beyond basic FPGAs by building arrays of "cells" rather than simply reconfigurable gates. Each cell has a small amount of logic and local memory and communicates with its nearest neighbor. The company is building small prototype chips based on the concept.

"ANTHRAX: detects in 5 minutes"
Curtis Mowry discusses his five-minute handheld biological agent detector--the ultimate goal of a Sandia National Laboratories research project that recently reported having successfully tested all of its subcomponents. A football-sized analysis unit was made possible by microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)-based components, enabling all but one subsystems necessary for the device to be integrated into a single handheld unit.

"REVERSE COMPUTATION: unsnarls net knots"
Christopher Carothers discusses his Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute research on reversible computer simulations--the elixir for unsnarling tough networking problems, such as the illusive 1,000,000 node TCP simulator. He recently won a Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award from the National Science Foundation for Networking Research on reversible computing.
