Articles on the subject are appearing on a = daily basis in the popular press, fueled by revelations that the World Trad= e Center and Pentagon hijackers had looked into crop dusting prior to their= suicide attacks. But how much of the threat of bioterrorism is hype and ho= w much real? ...Read the entire article For information related to the a= rticle above please hit reply and indicate your interest below: For more= information on Science and Government Report To purchase related report = MEMS (D228) For information on other related reports Tiny Nanowire Array= s Sense Hydrogen by Charles Joslin - Sensor Technology Alerts As we move i= nto alternative engines such as fuel cells that are fueled with hydrogen, w= e will need sensors to keep track of what's going on. We will want better h= ydrogen sensors to monitor performance and detect leaks of this explosive g= as from storage tanks. Just in time, chemists in California and France have= come up with a nanowire array that will do this with a minimum of fuss. It= gives us both extremely small hydrogen sensors and hydrogenactivated switc= hes. Either way, they will take little space, will work quickly at room tem= perature, and will require little power. ....
