Rugged compact PC expands data protection features
Aitech Defense Systems is now offering its A172, a low power, high performance Rugged Compact PC (RCP) with a removable storage module that meets DoD 5220.22-M for quick/secure erase. The 1TB, secure SSD offers MLC and SLC NAND Flash as well as a sustainable read/write speed of up to 400MB/sec.
Turbocharging fuel cells with a multifunctional catalyst
Powering clean, efficient cars is just one way fuel cell technology could accelerate humanity into a sustainable energy future, but unfortunately, the technology has been a bit sluggish. Now, engineers may be able to essentially turbocharge fuel cells with a new catalyst. The sluggishness comes from a chemical bottleneck, the rate of processing oxygen, a key ingredient that helps fuel cells, which are related to batteries, produce electricit...
