...researchers convened for the first time earlier this month at the International Symposium on Smart Structures and Materials in Newport Beach, Calif. "It's clear that if we're going to build little robots that do things, then they've got to have muscles," says Paul Calvert, a materials scientist at the University of Arizona. He uses polymer gels to construct "Jell-O jacks," which resemble the wobbly dessert but are capable of raising and lowering small objects. Agrees Qiming Zhang, an electrical engineer at Pennsylvania State University: "The only bottleneck is that we haven't found the perfect muscle...
.../rupture and esp did not limit themselves to any one genre. They interspersed smooth experimental tip-top and ambient noise soundscapes with beat-heavy jungle paranoia. And when esp began a live set, orchestrated on his laptop, he obligated conventional genres of contemporary dance music. Looking like a mad scientist behind piles of hardware and cables, esp pushed the limits of electronic experimentation, turning the Advocate into a testing ground for revolutionary urban combat. Imagine the brain waves of William Burroughs playing Space Invaders--set to music...

...revelations early this week that sensitive military technology had been leaked to China has Washington abuzz. A Chinese-American scientist working at the famous U.S. laboratory in Los Alamos (where J. Robert Oppenheimer '25 led the development of the first nuclear bomb) is being investigated by the FBI as the link which allowed the Chinese to develop miniature warheads, leaping ahead 25 years of technological advancement in the field of nuclear weaponry...
...charges are alarming: by way of an unnamed Chinese-American scientist working at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, in the mid-1980s, China stole sophisticated nuclear weapons know-how to replicate America's W-88 warhead, a miracle of miniaturized firepower. Last week the New York Times, elaborating on a January story in the Wall Street Journal, reported the security breach was being soft-pedaled by an Administration intent on warming to China. "We know the Chinese, through espionage, got information about the W-88 from Los Alamos," a White House official told TIME. "But we still don't know...
