Troops in war often face the issue of differentiation between friends and foes during night. In order to solve this problem, the Joint Fires Integration and Interoperability Team (JFIIT) has developed a night time identification system in order to assist soldiers to distinguish forces and avoid friendly fire. JFIIT is testing the new system at Army's National Training Center (NTC). The system does not contain any electronic circuitry and it is just based on glass. It takes away the halo effect from the light and hence assists in clear vision. The system works fine even at distances of 400m.

Guiding Light With Nanowires - 0 views

St Vids on 27 Jun 09

One of the major problems with optical fibers is that there is considerable information loss at every juncture where the wire gets sharply bent. This is one of the main reasons that are holding back silicon photonics. This problem can be eliminated by bringing nano-wires into the arena.

A high powered LASER beam reflects off the parabolic shape of the space craft and focuses inside the engine. The laser beam breaks out the air and blasts out a very strong shock wave and hence propels the spacecraft forward.
