The method combines computed tomography (CT) - capable of providing "slices" of the XNUMXD structure (the circles) - together with X-rays that provide an image of the distribution of the particles within the structure (PDFs, visible in the graphs) in order to present the information regarding the nanoscale structure and chemistry ( the different colors) inside the material, pixel by pixel and in XNUMXD [courtesy of Columbia University].

Organic topological insulators capable of transmitting information at the speed of light and which consist of a thin molecular layer (on the left) that resembles a sort of chicken coop fence wire while conducting electricity along the right edge of this layer (the blue line) - when the electrons can also carry information in the form of "down" or "up" spin ".

The Aerospace Industry (TAI) unveils for the first time the Ram-Nat - an armored and protected vehicle designed to detect and destroy tanks. The Ram-NT will be presented at the 2012 FIDAE exhibition that will take place between March 27-30 in Santiago, Chile. The new armored vehicle is based on the Ram Model 3 vehicle, developed and manufactured at the Ramata plant of the Israel Defense Forces in Be'er Sheva. Ram-Nat's main weapon system is four laser-guided Nimrod (Short-Range) SR missiles installed on a hydraulic "stage" that allows for secret and protected storage during movement and lifting of the missile launcher for firing.
