Malware intelligence system enables organizations to share threat information

Malware intelligence system enables organizations to share threat information

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.

COMSOL releases Multiphysics Version 4.3

COMSOL releases Multiphysics Version 4.3

Multiphysics, COMSOL’s software environment for modeling and simulating any physics-based system, recently received a major update. New capabilities in version 4.3 include three new discipline-specific add-on modules, fast and powerful meshing, a new "Double Dogleg" solver for mechanical contact and highly nonlinear simulations, and numerous user-inspired enhancements.

Navy pilot training enhanced by AEMASE smart machine

Navy pilot training enhanced by AEMASE smart machine

Navy pilots and other flight specialists soon will have a new "smart machine" installed in training simulators that learns from expert instructors to more efficiently train their students. Sandia National Laboratories' AEMASE is being provided to the Navy as a component of flight simulators.

Hewlett-Packard to merge printing, PC divisions

Hewlett-Packard Co. will combine its printer and PC divisions to save money, part of the technology company's effort to turn around its business. The move announced Wednesday comes at a time when sales of printers and ink, once HP's lifeblood, are falling as people increasingly share documents and photos online.

Software simulation accurately tests unbuilt chips

Software simulation accurately tests unbuilt chips

For the last decade or so, computer chip manufacturers have been increasing the speed of their chips by giving them extra processing units, or “cores.” But more cores means greater risks if new designs don’t work. A new software-simulation system promises much more accurate evaluation of promising—but potentially fault-ridden—multicore-chip designs.

Apple market value hits $500B, where few have gone

Apple was already the world's most valuable company before its market capitalization topped half a billion dollars, a mountain peak where few companies have venture, and few have remained for long. But analysts say Apple’s rally has some legs, because the way it earned its value differs from others who have reached this level, including Exxon and Microsoft.

Google: Technology is making science fiction real

Google: Technology is making science fiction real

At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona Tuesday, Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt predicted that rapid advances in technology will soon transform science fiction into reality—meaning people will have driverless cars, small robots at their command and the ability to experience being in another place without leaving home.

Interactive 3D graphical objects may soon be common on the web

Interactive 3D graphical objects may soon be common on the web

Until now, web developers have been dealing with multiple third-party programs to display images in a complex way, such as in 3D. The new HTML extension XML3D, to be demonstrated at the Cebit show in Germany in March, will soon allow developers to embed 3D content in an easy way without having to resort of videos or innumerable photographs of various angles.

Georgia Tech develops software for rapid analysis of foodborne pathogens

2011 brought two of the deadliest bacterial outbreaks the world has seen during the last 25 years. The two epidemics accounted for more than 4,200 cases of infectious disease and 80 deaths. Software developed at Georgia Tech was used to help characterize the bacteria that caused each outbreak.

Engineers debut open-source fluid dynamics design application

Every year, students studying aeronautical and astronautical design brace themselves for the time-consuming process of writing their own code to optimize aerospace designs. In search of a better way, a team of engineers at the Aerospace Design Lab at Stanford University has released SU2, an open-source application that models the effects of fluids moving over aerodynamic surfaces.

JEOL to launch world's smallest solid-state NMR probe
JEOL to launch world's smallest solid-state NMR probe

According to JEOL Resonance, a new benchmark for resolution and benchmark will be set with its introduction next week of a new 0.75-mm solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probe. The probe is capable of high resolution sample analysis by spinning the sample at 110 kHz, the world's fastest spinning speed for NMR.

Energy Harvesting Subsystems for Wireless Sensors

Nextreme Thermal Solutions has developed two new energy harvesting subsystems for the plumbing and HVAC industries. The subsystems are the latest additions to Nextreme's Thermobility energy harvesting platform that uses thin-film thermoelectric technology to convert available thermal energy into electric power for a variety of autonomous self-powered applications.
