• Inkjet Printers Can Produce Cheap Micro-Waveguides for Optical Computers

  …ber on a microscale. Such devices are called waveguides. They are integral in creating new-generation computers on an optical basis, serving to ensure efficient signal transmission and processing. Most researchers now suggest complex and expensive technologies for creating waveguides, such as laser ablation or photolithography. These are time-consuming procedures …

• Tel Aviv University Professor Boris Malomed on Non-Linear Physics and Solitons

  …, have found a different solution? Yes. Our solution is not to fight the non-linearity, but to exploit it. We can launch a short, powerful pulse, which stimulates the dispersion. As a combination of non-linearity and dispersion, we’ll end up with a light pulse capable of sustaining its own form. The non-linearity makes parts of the w…

• Scientists Developed Enzymes with Remote Control

  … special complex in which an enzyme is enclosed in a rigid porous framework of magnetite nanoparticles. Whenever the radio field is applied, the nanoparticles adsorb radio emission and heat up, passing additional energy to the enzyme and resulting in the enzymatic reaction rate acceleration. An experiment conducted on a model enzyme, carbonic anhydrase, demonstrated …

  …ranches of the selfsame tree. The lecturer proposed that designers explore other scientific fields and look back at the available design solutions for solving complex professional problems and finding inspiration. One of the seminal design solutions mentioned by Prof. Lamas was the Basic Design Cycle model, which was developed in 1955 and implies a simple sequence…
