As malware threats expand into new domains and increasingly focus on industrial espionage, Georgia Institute of Technology researchers are launching a new weapon to help battle the threats: A malware intelligence system that will help corporate and government security officials share information about the attacks they are fighting.

Through advanced computer modeling of house fires, mechanical engineers at the University of New South Wales are giving fire fighters a new suite of tools to investigate and battle dangerous blazes in time for the traditionally high-risk winter months. Beginning with an ignition point, the models can map how fires behave as they grow, accurately predicting their overall temperature and pinpointing dangerous hotspots that responding personnel should avoid.

Some
37 cameras shot 132 musicians running through the score of Gustav
Holst's "The Planets” on the specially-blacked out stage at Watford
Colosseum, just outside London, early this year. That footage has been
used by a London museum to put the conductor's baton in visitors' hands,
allowing guests to direct a virtual orchestra using 3D motion sensors.

A Sandia National Laboratories modeling study contradicts a long-held belief of geologists that pore sizes and chemical compositions are uniform throughout a given strata, which are horizontal slices of sedimentary rock. By understanding the variety of pore sizes and spatial patterns in strata, geologists can help achieve more production from underground oil reservoirs and water aquifers.

Ion bombardment of metal surfaces is an important, but poorly understood, nanomanufacturing technique. New research using sophisticated supercomputer simulations has shown what goes on in trillionths of a second. The advance could lead to better ways to predict the phenomenon and more uses of the technique to make new nanoscale products.

A group of Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers will present a new mathematical framework that allows computer scientists to reason rigorously about sloppy computation. The framework can provide mathematical guarantees that if a computer program behaves as intended, so will a fast-but-inaccurate modification of it.

The
search engine giant has spent the past two years poring through online
encyclopedia Wikipedia, the CIA Factbook and other sources to expand a
database of 12 million items that it picked up as part of its 2010
acquisition of Metaweb. On Wednesday it used this massive database to
launch a new feature that provides a summary of vital information
alongside main search results.

The
U.S. government has been pushing doctors to e-prescribe, in part
because it can be safer for patients. Now, more than a third of the
nation's prescriptions now are electronic, and starting this year,
holdouts will start to see cuts in their Medicare payments.

The main technical difficulty in building a quantum computer could soon be the thing that makes it possible to build one, according to new research from The Australian National University.

In
a recent project that has challenged the notion that the best chip is
the most accurate one, a research team has unveiled this week its
prototype “inexact” computer chip. By allowing the chip to make a few
mistakes, developers were able to slash the power consumption of the
chip dramatically. The result is a chip at least 15 times more efficient
than today’s technology.
