#Navy Demonstrates Swarm Of Armed Robot Boats Call them sea drones dronaughts or roboats the Navy demonstrated a swarm of remotely-controlled boats on the James river In virginia this August.
As if animated by the same mind the13 patrol boats all moved in unison their crewless decks painting a picture of
while still keeping boats in the water. Here s what that exercise looked like: Key to the boats is named a program Control Architecture for Robotic Agent Command and Sensing or CARACAS.
According to the ONR CARACAS allows boats to operate autonomously without a sailor physically needing to be at the controls including operating in sync with other unmanned vessels;
choosing their own routes; swarming to interdict enemy vessels; and escorting/protecting naval assets. In the demonstration the Navy boats first escorted a high value unit simulating a ring of robotic bodyguards around a vessel in a narrow part of the sea.
Then with the support of a manned helicopter overhead designating a contact of interest for the boats to intercept they swarmed around their target.
The boats'autonomy is enabled by a sort of hive-sense. The unmanned surface vessels are linked and together they share information from their sensors.
Each boat knows its own surrounding environment and the location of other vessels and it shares this situation awareness with the other ships in the swarm.
On the phone with media Read Admiral Matthew L. Klunder and ONR program manager Robert Brizzolara confirmed that
while the robot ships had the ability to move on their own there is always a human in the loop before the robot boats fire their weapons.
Should the signal with the controller be lost the boats will stop themselves. There s also another kill switch that the controller can press to make the robot boats stop dead in the water.
The boats are all patrol craft typically crewed by four to five sailors. Replacing the crew with robotic controls means the Navy needs 40 to 50 fewer people for a 13-ship exercise.
That means more lives out of harms way as well as saved costs on personnel. The boats are existing Navy craft
and ONR said they were armed with a variety of weapons--from. 50 caliber machine guns to high-powered microwave weapons.
since unmanned swarms of up to 20 boats can be controlled by one sailor at a time. And they can use fewer people;
but it's possible that an unmanned robot boat could intercept a vessel full of suicide bombers.
but autonomy and swarming have the potential for so much more than just intercepting small boats. Klunder says that

The phenomenon of plasticity by interfacial diffusion was proposed first by Robert L. Coble a professor of ceramic engineering at MIT

#Imaging lipid rafts reveals some surprises In a previous collaboration, a team of researchers led by Mikiko Sodeoka at the RIKEN Synthetic Organic chemistry Laboratory
if we could eethe distribution of sphingomyelin in the raft structure, Sodeoka says. But this required overcoming two major challenges.
Because lipid rafts are constantly moving in the cell membrane it is very difficult to pin them down long enough to obtain an image.
Furthermore, the low number of lipid rafts in membranes makes it hard to extract their signals from the background noise.
Murata group made long imaging times possible by preparing artificial membranes with a raft-like composition and immobilizing them on a surface,
while Sodeoka and Fujita groups obtained strong signals from lipid rafts by employing a small, strongly Raman-active conjugated diyne tag and their highly sensitive Raman microscope.
the researchers observed a gradually varying distribution of sphingomyelin in ordered rafts. any people assumed that ordered and disordered domains in lipid rafts were separated clearly,
The technique developed by the team opens the way for in depth functional studies of lipid rafts. efore our work,
#Researchers develop the first flexible phase-change random access memory (Nanowerk News) Phase change random access memory (PRAM) is one of the strongest candidates for next-generation nonvolatile memory for flexible and wearable electronics.
The effective solution is to decrease cell size in sub-micron region as in commercialized conventional PRAM.
thus practical flexible PRAM has not been realized yet. Recently a team led by Professors Keon Jae Lee
and Yeon Sik Jung of the Department of Materials science and engineering at KAIST has developed the first flexible PRAM enabled by self-assembled block copolymer (BCP) silica nanostructures with an ultralow current operation (below one quarter
of conventional PRAM without BCP) on plastic substrates. BCP is the mixture of two different polymer materials,
"Low-power nonvolatile PRAM for flexible and wearable memories enabled by (a) self-assembled BCP silica nanostructures and (b) self-structured conductive filament nanoheater.
KAIST) Another way to achieve ultralow-powered PRAM is to utilize self-structured conductive filaments (CF) instead of the resistor-type conventional heater.
"In addition, due to self-structured low-power technology compatible to plastics, the research team has succeeded recently in fabricating a flexible PRAM on wearable substrates.
"The demonstration of low power PRAM on plastics is one of the most important issues for next-generation wearable and flexible nonvolatile memory.
Our innovative and simple methodology represents the strong potential for commercializing flexible PRAM.""In addition, he wrote a review paper regarding the nanotechnology-based electronic devices in the June online issue of Advanced Materials entitled"Performance Enhancement of Electronic and Energy Devices via Block copolymer Self-Assembly
