Biocomputer can explore multiple solutions at once as bacteria multiply in tiny, interconnected channels
A McGill-led research team has developed a bacteria-based biocomputer that can solve large, complex problems using a small fraction of the memory and resources required by standard ("solid-state") computers. Possible applications include encryption, molecular biology and artificial intelligence, the researchers said.

New VR method turns touch information into visual cues for better collaboration
What if you could see how rough an object feels, even without touching it? A KAIST research team has developed a technique that makes the roughness of virtual objects visible through changes in the outline of a virtual hand. By allowing users without haptic devices to perceive roughness information visually, the technique enables more effective collaboration in virtual reality (VR) between people using different equipment.

TB 26-10 Printed Circuit Board Assembly Chip Resistor Body Cracking
For more information, contact Joel W. Sills, Langley Research Center, joel.w.sills@nasa.gov. Download PDF here Chip resistors are widely used in NASA projects, yet cases of alumina substrate cracking during environmental testing are rare. Two instances of thick-film chip resistor cracking were observed during thermal cycling after vibration, with fractures occurring across the short axis due […]
