How Secure Is Your Network? NIST Model Knows
The example illustrates three paths that an attacker can take to penetrate the network using FTP server, SSH server or database server.
NIST Membrane Model May Unlock Secrets of Early-Stage Alzheimer's
Diagram of NIST's "tethered bilayer membrane" model shows the silica surface covered with gold at the bottom. Sulfur atoms (yellow spheres) bind to the gold and act as anchors for the tethers, chains ...
Cool! Nanoparticle Research Points to Energy Savings
Nanoparticle additives to lubricants commonly combined with refrigerants used in chillers may encourage secondary nucleation -- bubbles on top of bubbles. The double-bubble effect enhances boiling ...
Polarizing Filter
A polarizing filter attached to a telescope suppresses the light emitted by dust particles and ionized gas clouds around the quasar so its true electromagnetic spectrum can be revealed.
