Small bit of a CMOS chip holds 2-D through-the-walls radar imager

Two researchers from the USC Viterbi School of Engineering have created a send/receive chip that functions as an active array, sending out a matrix of 49 simultaneous ultrawideband radar probe beams and picking up the returned beam reflections. It is fabricated by economical CMOS technology.

5. Radar opens new window into the ice for Antarctic scientists
   10-16-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Scientists are getting their first glimpse into the inner secrets of an ice shelf, thanks to the innovative application of a new radar technique developed by British Antarctic Survey (BAS). Getting a clearer view of how ice behaves is important because it will help scientists predict more accurately how the ice sheet will respond to future climate change. The results are published this week in the Journal of Glaciology.

9. Research on microfluidics widens the possibilities for electronic devices
   04-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
   "Electrowetting" controls the contact angle of a liquid on a hydrophobic surface through the use of an electric field. Andrew Steckl's research on liquid-state-field-effect transistors promises improvements in such things as "lab on a chip" devices. These tiny devices, reminiscent of the "Fantastic Voyage," can be introduced into the blood stream to monitor the blood’s chemistry. Steckl calls it "liquid logic" -- using liquids to make electronic devices instead of solids.
