The Israelis have created an "electronic nose" to search for explosives

Engineers School of Chemistry and Center for Nanotechnology and nanomaterials research at Tel Aviv University have developed an "electronic nose" that has two to three orders of magnitude more sensitive to molecules of explosives than the dog's nose. According to a report from Tel Aviv University, the "nose" is a chip with several hundred ultra-sensitive sensors that can detect explosives in the air molecules.

On a chip "electronic nose" located nanotransistors who are able to change the electrical conductivity in contact with them at least one molecule of the explosive. On the basis of the smallest changes in the electrical conductivity nanotransistors mathematical algorithm analyzes the interaction of matter. According to the Tel Aviv University, their device in mass production will be cheaper than existing search engines explosives.

Scientists have developed a self-cooling solar panels

Solar energy - an inexhaustible source of energy, but the development of this source of man goes on for quite a low rate. However, now, a team of scientists has found a solution to one of the biggest challenges in the development of this energy - overheating, reports vremechko.org.

Even the best solar peak efficiency is 20%, which, in turn, is very small. Scientists from MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) has recently invented a means for collecting solar energy, which converts heat into an advantage (spongy substance that absorbs sunlight and uses it to turn water into steam), but this tool is still in its early stage of development.

The new material is made ​​of gold will not allow to see the light

Scientists have proposed using kukubiturily to create a new material that would not reflect the light. The results of his study authors published in the journal Nature Communications, and briefly with them can be found at the University of Cambridge.

Scientists have proposed the use of a new metamaterial as a basis for the unseen material. In the conventional material, when the light incident on its surface it is reflected and refracted by the standard method that allows the observer to see the pattern. The new metamaterial authors proposed to control the properties of light, resulting in a beam can be reflected from the surface on which the original hit.

Lithium batteries are the next generation of smart phones allow you to work longer

A team of scientists from Stanford University (USA) offered a way to double, triple increase capacity lithium batteries are widely used in electronics, including smartphones. On their study, the researchers told the journal Nature Nanotechnology.

According to scientists, lithium remains the most promising material for anodes batteries, as it allows to reach the maximum capacity of the battery. However, the current design of batteries leads to a build-up of lithium mohobraznogo outside anodes, which may lead to deterioration of capacity characteristics of the battery, its heating and even explosion.

Physics took three Almaz Downloads

Scientists from the United States managed to squeeze a diamond under pressure more than three times. The results of their study, the authors have published an article in the journal Nature, which says that the maximum compression ratio, which has been achieved scientist was 3.7 times.

The pressure required for this turned out to be five terapascals (which is about 50 million Earth atmospheres). Diamond squeezed by a radiation of 176 laser beams, which created pressure on the substance, causing decrease the distance between the carbon atoms in the crystal lattice sites. According to the researchers, this led to the formation of a special degenerate electronic state of matter in the crystal, which is described by quantum statistics only in some approximations.

The car will keep abreast of the driver

In fact, it's not a fantasy, but the reality of the near future. Very soon, the electronic control of the vehicle will work closely with the body of the driver. Producing a continuous monitoring of vital signs (heart rate, cardiac performance, depth of breathing, etc.), the car will have an opportunity at a critical moment to take it over.

A unique project of the University of Nottingham (UK) dedicated to the development of special medical sensors that are built into the driver's seat. With their help, the control system receives data about the degree of fatigue a person who is behind the wheel. If the figures come out of the set parameters (for example, if the driver falls asleep), the computer takes over.

Description of the sensor is presented for publication in the Journal of Computational Materials Science, with its concise content available on the website of the Moscow Physical-Technical Institute.

The apparatus consists of two nanotube ends are placed opposite each other. To the ends of the applied voltage and a current force of about ten nA passes between the two ends due to the tunnel effect. The value of external force to change the device determines the distance between the ends of the nanotubes, which determines the strength of the tunneling current.

Create managed biorobots of muscle cells

American engineers presented a new generation of bio-robots: they are brought into motion muscle cells, and they are controlled by electrical impulses. These devices will help, for example, to build autonomous robots soft, "octopus" that can dive to the bottom and sea conduct search operations, squeezing through the rubble. A new device is reported in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Group Rashid Bashir (Rashid Bashir) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has been trying to integrate biological "machine" in robotics. In 2013, they demonstrated a miniature biological robots marching alone, thanks to "knock" the living heart muscle cells of rats. However, these cells are constantly decreasing, which is extremely difficult to control the movements of the robot. The new model is formed strips skeletal muscle cells, and it runs from the external electrical pulses.

"Kaspersky Lab" patented in the U.S. threats to confidential search

"Kaspersky Lab" has received a patent from the Registrar of Patents and Trademarks U.S. technology that allows to search for threats in the IT-infrastructure of the company without access to confidential information. This is stated in a statement. 

Since not all threats can be identified using a locally installed solutions and some of them require more thorough investigation. To do this, suspicious files are sent to the special infrastructure developer of security software (software), which is available in more resources and tools to conduct a comprehensive analysis.

However, in the IT-infrastructure, the majority of companies are treated confidential data whose transmission to third-party servers is strictly prohibited corporate rules. As a result, the storage of encrypted files can often be vulnerable to particularly complex malware detection on the client side which is impossible.

Proceeding from this, "Kaspersky Lab" has developed a technology that allows administrators to corporate networks to filter content sent to a specialist to check. The basic principle is patented technology that are client-side protective components collect and transmit outward only metadata - information to investigate the characteristics of the data without having access to them.

If in the process of third-party analysis still need to file contents, corporate infrastructure request is sent to the list of objects needed for more detailed investigation. In response to a query scans the list administrator determines which files are not confidential, and allows them to send.

Server receives the requested information, completes the analysis offline. In case of infection administrator is notified and, if possible, the tools to fix the problem.

"Companies that work with sensitive data, in a sense become hostages of their privacy - protecting valuable information from disclosure, they put it another danger. But malware infects all files in a row without dividing them into secret and unclassified », ─ said one of the authors of the patent Alexey Polyakov, head of operational solutions virus incidents" Kaspersky Lab ".

According to him, usually part of the infected files can be no risk of disclosure of trade secrets forward for testing. Thus, the technology of "Kaspersky Lab" reveals threat and pick method of protection without having to breach confidentiality.

The company sent a request for patenting the technology also Rospatent.

As of today, "Kaspersky Lab" has received 213 patents in Russia, the U.S., China and Europe, and another 271 are pending patent application.
