Since Sept. 1, Harvard has overseen the implementation of a major new interdisciplinary research initiative in the field of nano and micro-electromechanical systems (NEMS/MEMS) which could potentially be used to detect biological toxins in air or water. Affiliated with Harvard Medical School, the Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences within Harvard College, and the physics department at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, the new program, called the Harvard Center for Microfluidic and Plasmonic Systems, will investigate a new type of NEMS/MEMS system based on metallic nanostructures that support particles known as surface plasmons (SP). “What?...
...airport x-ray machines going to detect more than just concealed weapons? Yes, says the American Civil Liberties Union, which likens the new backscatter technology to a digital strip search. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will launch the device this month at Phoenix's Sky Harbor Airport as part of an antiterrorism test program. Backscatter penetrates clothes but not skin, exposing the outline of the body along with any objects being carried. The TSA's version is filtered to make faces and intimate parts indistinguishable (see photo above). Initially, it will be used only if travelers fail a primary screening...
