** In a key step to creating computers that could work millions of times faster than existing devices, a team of scientists unveiled a transistor that is made up of just seven atoms, according to AFP.
The research was led by the University of New South Wales, with key contributions from those at UW-Madison.
** Just a reminder that UW-Madison will conduct an all-day, full-scale emergency response exercise on campus Wednesday. This training event will take place around Bradley Residence Hall, 1900 Willow Dr., and UW Lot 34, 1480 Tripp Circle.
Called Operation Badger One, the event is designed to simulate an incident on campus that will need a response from a number of emergency organizations in Dane County. The exercise will include actors posing as victims and police officers with weapons drawn.
