Dr. Dawson's technique for simulating plasmas on computers, called the particle-in-cell computer model, has helped to expand plasma research, which today has applications as diverse as energy production and air pollution control.
Rapidly growing numerical instabilities routinely occur in multidimensional particle-in-cell computer simulations of plasma-based particle accelerators, astrophysical phenomena, and relativistic charged particle beams.
Conductive polymers are already used in fuel cells, computer displays and microsurgical tools, and are now finding applications in the field of biomaterials.
Using the well-known one-dimensional particle-in-cell computer simulation algorithm, we have studied the response of the sheath and presheath on the sudden negative charging of a planar electrode.
These sometimes organic, sometimes geometric shapes speak of alien cells, computer code, or growing, pulsating organisms," Georges says.
Butterfly makes chips that let cell phones, computers and digital cameras interact with one another.
We routinely demand perfection from the technology that surrounds us — from our cell phones, computers, and cars.
If you blow up terrorists using a Hellfire missile, you do not get to learn from information contained in their pockets, cell phones, computers, or minds.
Micrel Inc., which makes chips used in cell phones, computers and fiber optic equipment, said second-quarter profit would fall more than expected after orders declined.
"They want to disrupt everything from cell phones, computers to televisions.
