Update on Fact2Fiction on microthermal generators, such as those planned to power pacemakers.

Kudos and plugs: Mona Lisa

Now that you're intrigued...

http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/reprint/313/5794/1730.pdf - 6 page article from the most recent Science magazine. Pages 3 and 4 list NRC (in particular, part of our research group) in second place in the Informational Graphics section of the 2006 Visual Challenge.

Now for the plug...

Recommended for anyone who thinks lasers and priceless artifacts can coexist peacefully. I wasn't involved in this work (except in designing some of the graphic interface used by the scanning system) but I still think it's cool.</td>
