EUV edging out rivals as next-generation IC fab tool

Article Abstract:

A cooperative effort by researchers at Sematech, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the branch of sandia national Laboratories in Livermore, CA, shows promise of keeping the semiconductor industry on track with Moore's Law. Microchip makers will need, by 2005, a next-generation lithographic method for building smaller integrated circuits (IC) if they to keep up with that law that states that the number of transistors on an IC doubles every 18 to 24 months. The research involves extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography.

Biological warfare canaries: in the face of germ warfare, just knowing you are under attack is half the battle

Article Abstract:

Early-warning detector systems are being developed to guard against biological weapons such as bacteria, viruses, or toxins spread deliberately in air, food, or water. An ultimate dream solution is described as a wristwatch-sized device capable of rapid detection and diagnostics, and even treatment.
