"QUANTUM: Photons enlisted in quantum computer search"
In the search for a physical system that could encode quantum states and thus form the basis for a practical quantum computer, researchers at the University of Rochester are turning to photonics.

"CHIPS: Growth envisioned for semiconducting crystals"
Rudolf "Ruud" Tromp described his groundbreaking work in the study of the growth of organic-semiconducting crystals, such as pentacene, which is being applied in flat-panel display technology. Tromp's work today follows naturally from pioneering research he initiated at IBM's T.J. Watson Research Center in 1983. Indeed, the work he began there in understanding the structure and growth of semiconductor surfaces and interfaces has been rewarded by the American Physical Society, which has presented him with its Davisson-Germer Prize in Atomic or Surface Physics.

"SOFT: 'chip' compiles Java into no-OS embedded C"
Francis daCosta explains Advanced Cybernetics Group's claim to have developed a "write anywhere, run anywhere" technology, called Eclipse, that compiles Java programs into an embedded-C program that has no operating system. Next, ACG intends to compile the C program as software not only for embedded microcontrollers but also for hardware field-programmable gate arrays. Eventually, the company wants to program every chip in a system � not just the CPU � with Java.
