"QUANTUM: Photons enlisted in quantum computer search"
In the search for a physical system that could encode quantum states and thus form the basis for a practical quantum computer, researchers at the University of Rochester are turning to photonics.

"CHIPS: Growth envisioned for semiconducting crystals"
Rudolf "Ruud" Tromp described his groundbreaking work in the study of the growth of organic-semiconducting crystals, such as pentacene, which is being applied in flat-panel display technology. Tromp's work today follows naturally from pioneering research he initiated at IBM's T.J. Watson Research Center in 1983. Indeed, the work he began there in understanding the structure and growth of semiconductor surfaces and interfaces has been rewarded by the American Physical Society, which has presented him with its Davisson-Germer Prize in Atomic or Surface Physics.

"SOFT: 'chip' compiles Java into no-OS embedded C"
Francis daCosta explains Advanced Cybernetics Group's claim to have developed a "write anywhere, run anywhere" technology, called Eclipse, that compiles Java programs into an embedded-C program that has no operating system. Next, ACG intends to compile the C program as software not only for embedded microcontrollers but also for hardware field-programmable gate arrays. Eventually, the company wants to program every chip in a system � not just the CPU � with Java.

"DNA: molecules form nanodevice scaffolding"
Richard Kiehl describes using DNA's unique lock-and-key mode of chemical bonding as a molecular-circuit assembly technique that he believes will be compatible with silicon-based electronics. A patterned silicon substrate, complete with interconnection pads, carries DNA-coded "tiles" that serve as breadboards for nanocomponents. The components are measured in angstroms, enabling densities of 10 trillion bits per square centimeter (1.6 trillion bits/inch2). In the prototype system, the nanocomponents are small gold clusters that have the ability to act as single-electron memory cells.

"ADAPTIVE: optics give ground scope a steady gaze"
Michael Lloyd-Hart describes putting the final touches on a ground-based telescope that's said to offer three times better resolution than the Hubble Space Telescope. The last piece, a computer-controlled 2-foot flexible mirror, complements a 21-foot fixed primary mirror in a system that combines advanced algorithms with real-time DSP control to overcome distortions caused by Earth's atmosphere.

"NANOSCALE: waveguides provide view of single molecules"
Michael Levene describes how researchers at Cornell University perforated the top layer of a chip with two million "holes" that serve as nanoscale waveguides for a 488-nanometer laser, allowing them to film individual molecules during chemical reactions.

"SMART DUST: Companies test prototype wireless-sensor nets"
Professor David Culler describes how self-organizing wireless-sensor networks, a realization of the Pentagon's "smart-dust" concept, have reached the prototype stage worldwide. The smart sensors, or Motes, were created by the University of California at Berkeley and Intel, and are being tested out worldwide today.
