#Researchers develop harder ceramic for armor windows The Department of defense needs materials for armor windows that provide essential protection for both personnel

To meet that need scientists at the U s. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) have developed a method to fabricate nanocrystalline spinel that is 50%harder than the current spinel armor materials used in military vehicles.

This harder spinel offers the potential for better armor windows in military vehicles which would give personnel and equipment such as sensors improved protection along with other benefits.

In current applications spinel and sapphire (which is also very hard) are used to create materials for military armor windows.

The armor material used by the military needs to be transparent so that both equipment and personnel can see.

Beyond the use for a harder spinel in armor windows there could be other potential Dod and civilian applications in better/stronger office windows smartphones and tablets screens military/civilian vehicles

or she often doesn have an opportunity to radio for backup. Yardarm, a California-based company, is building technology that will automatically alert headquarters in such situations.

The company makes a chip that goes into the handle of a regular firearm and transmits data over a cellphone network connection.

The data transmitted includes the location of a gun and whether it has been discharged unholstered or.

which a gun is pointing. The data can be fed to a police dispatch system or viewed on a smartphone.

Yardarm started out making a consumer product for monitoring a firearm location. But since many American gun owners object to technology or policies aimed at regulating firearms,

it did not find many customers. ou have a social demand for smart gun technology,

but not necessarily a market demand, says Jim Schaff, Yardarm vice president of marketing. s a consumer product,

The gun industry is gradually taking notice of these trends. The gunmaker Beretta already offers the

And though others have worked on carbon composites that can respond to a specific stimulus such as heat Cros says in the new approach the carbon composites can be paired with a variety of shape-shifting materials that respond to different environmental triggers.

This makes it possible to choose a specific trigger that won t be accidentally set off in the wrong conditions such as a hot day he says.

Early versions of the instrument called the Minion have been reaching scientific labs over the past few months after long delays (see 10 Breakthrough Technologies 2012:

The Minion is the result of some very high-stakes R&d by Oxford a 200-person company that s long has had its eye on the expanding market for high-speed DNA sequencers.

It took another 25 years before the Minion was developed. That's because the technical problems were so daunting.

And how could you pull the string of DNA letters through the pore suspended in a layer one-100000th as thick as a hair much less at a rate of 30 letters a second as the Minion does?

When it first announced the Minion in 2012 expectations soared off the charts (see Why a Portable DNA Device Could Yield Better Data.

While both he and Deamer have extensive financial ties to Oxford they say it s obvious to everyone that the Minion is just the start.

Never mind that no one knew how to make a drug that could trigger RNAI. In fact that challenge would bedevil the researchers for the better part of a decade.

Also, the technology could be used to create weapons that destroy agricultural crops or create super pests.

#Russia is developing a'MICROWAVE GUN':'Weapon can shoot a drone out of the sky from six miles away, claims military official By Jonathan O'Callaghan for Mailonline Published:

13:55 GMT, 16 june 2015 Updated: 18:14 GMT, 16 june 2015 A Russian military official has claimed that they have developed a icrowave gunthe high-frequency weapon can supposedly disable an unmanned drone and even a missile from up to six miles (10km) away.

The weapon apparently deactivates the radios of UAVS and warheads, causing them to lose control. Designed for the surface-to-air BUK missile system, the gun was developed by Russia United Instrument Manufacturing Corporation (UIMC.

Informally named the icrowave gun it will be unveiled as part of the Russian Defense Ministry Army-2015 international event in Moscow in the coming days.

Aside from the six-mile (10km) range, the gun can also apparently operate in a efense perimeterof 360 degrees.

It would be used on missile systems on the ground, to target unmanned planes in the air. By directing high-frequency microwaves towards a target, it is theoretically possibly to destroy unprotected electronics.

The gun would use a'reflector antenna'to focus the microwaves created by a generator.

An unknown'transmission system'would fire the beams towards their target. No other technical specifications have been given

so it unclear exactly how the weapon would work. he new system is equipped with a high-power relativistic generator and reflector antenna, management and control system,

the icrowave gunis capable of ensuring perimeter defense at 360 degrees. his type of weapon is directed known as a-energy weapon (DEW),

The weapons focus on emitting highly focused energy to a target in order to damage it. Aside from microwaves

The microwave gun is evidence of plans by Russia to modernise its armed forces, though, according to Business Insider.

Gauss guns, magic bullets, and magnetic millibot surgeons Sometime around the turn into the 20th century, medical extraordinaire Paul Ehrlich coined the word zauberkugel

Instead, we are talking about a device fired by a much more controllable kind of gun namely,

something called a Gauss gun, after the famous mathematician of the same name. Similar to a coil or rail gun, a Gauss gun linearly accelerates an object using electromagnetic fields.

It can also be configured to store potential energy in the positions of objects inside its bore,

and Pierre Dupont have built a proof-of-principle Gauss gun that could propel a tiny device they call a millibot throughout the body.

The key insight made by the researchers is that the coils of an MRI machine could be used to implement a Gauss gun.

The Gauss gun would enable tiny devices to breach barriers between fluid chambers or even go through solid tissue itself.

The beauty of the Gauss gun is that the MRI magnets do everything position the components,

We asked corresponding author Pierre Dupont directly what the Gauss gun could put out. He said that they have demonstrated already up to 15mm penetration depth into a brain tissue phantom using an 18gauge needle.

when devices like the Niobe eventually add beefy Gauss gun style attachments, remote robotic surgery will have entered a new era.

The fine membranes that separate these spaces are precisely the targets a Gauss gun could work on.

#Smart grenade seeks out bad guys What if grenades could locate threats and detonate all on their own?

A new smart grenade can do just that. With this grenade, soldiers will know with certainty that it will strike its target.

The U s army is developing the SAGM, Small arms Grenade Munitions round. The SAGM is a new kind of grenade that can find an enemy hiding behind an object, a wall or other would-be cover.

This is next-generation enhanced grenade lethality. Why make grenades smart? When enemies take positions behind,

say, low mud walls typical of battle environments like Afghanistan, they can avoid grenade rounds.

In order to most effectively hit a target, soldiers often require a direct line of sight with an M203 rifle-mounted grenade launcher and standard grenades.

A smart grenade could solve this problem. Just like other marttech that can complete tasks without its user providing instructions,

this smart grenade can find its target itself. When the SAGM is fired, the grenade will recognize its surroundings

and the cover used by the enemy for concealment. It then detonates over the target.

The SAGM is an air-bursting grenade and more than doubles the lethality of the current 40-mm grenade against targets that are not directly in a soldier line of sight.

The idea is that the 40 mm low-velocity grenade is compatible with the M203

and M320 rifle-mounted grenade launchers used by the Army. A team at the U s army's Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center at Picatinny Arsenal in New jersey is developing the SAGM,

beginning its research in 2012. ARDEC mission is to develop technology and engineering solutions for America's soldiers.

How does it work? Using an SAGM, a soldier will not need to do any sort of pre-fire programming sequence.

The soldier just needs to accurately aim the weapon and fire--the smart grenade will take care of the rest.

While in the air the SAGM will detect walls, without even relying on a range finder. After it passes the wall,

the SAGM explodes itself in the air above the target. To be truly versatile and effective downrange,

the SAGM will need to be able to detect and process a wide range of objects people may hide behind.

The Army is working on developing a sensor system that will make the SAGM so smart it can do just that.

Theye made the fuze"smart"by including sensors. The sensors and logic devices scan and filter the environment,

The grenade is designed to have three firing modes. The first one is the airburst after it detects the cover where someone is concealed.

The Army has also been developing the XM25 grenade launcher as a direct fire method for these sorts of concealed targets.

This weapon uses an onboard laser system to gauge distance to its target. It has a programmable air burst round that determines the distance to its target.

It is hoped that the smart grenade will become an official Army program of record this year d

#US Air force confirms Boeing's electromagnetic pulse weapon For the last few years, the creative minds of Hollywood had outpaced seemingly the reality of technological and scientific advances in the weapons field.

But no longer. Stepping out of the realm of science fiction and into reality is the joint U s. Air force and Boeing electromagnetic pulse weapon,

capable of targeting and destroying electrical systems without the collateral damage often associated with traditional firepower.

this new weapon"is a bomb--but without the bomb.""Known as the"CHAMP, "or Counter-electronics High-powered Microwave Advanced Missile Project, the American military project is an attempt to develop a device with all the power of a nuclear weapon but without the death and destruction to people and infrastructure that such a weapon

causes. Theoretically, the new missile system would pinpoint buildings and knock out their electrical grids, plunging the target into darkness and general disconnectedness.

and not cities at large that makes the new weapon so effective, as it would allow military members to cut off electricity supplies to enemy parties while keeping civilians out of the melee.

"While it appears that the Laboratory has only commissioned five such devices with Boeing, with the Air force's recent confirmation of the weapon's existence,

Military forces have been actively developing next-generation weapons that take warfare well beyond the guns and rockets that populate modern arsenals.
