All rhinoceros horns in South Africa are to be microchipped in an attempt to curb the "dramatic" increase in the poaching and illegal trade of rhino horns in the country. Earlier this month a young, hand-reared and tame black rhino was shot and had its horns slashed off for illegal trade. The killing came two days after government announced a halt on the sale of rhinoceros horn. Six-year-old Moêng was the third rhino shot in the Melkrivier area of Limpopo in a period of two weeks. Conservationists fear that poaching may escalate as a result of the decision by the department of energy affairs and tourism to cut down on rhino hunting. One response to the illicit rhino horn trade is the micro-chip project, which will see samples taken from horns of dead rhino stored in registered containers and kept safe for future use in DNA finger printing. This will allow ivory to be tracked and illegal exports or sales detected. The black rhino is listed as endangered and, under the Convention for International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites), it is illegal for rhino horns to be sold to overseas buyers. "Only five black rhinos can be hunted each year and only male rhinos that don't contribute in reproduction can be hunted," said Sonja Meintjies, the deputy director of diversity compliance at the department. Moêng's owner, conservationist Clive Walker, said that poaching is a threat to rhinos across the country. South Africa is home to about 1 300 ...

Their new technique could pave the way for next-generation computer memory and integrated-circuit chips, as well as advanced solar cells and other devices. The team has created lines about 25 nanometers (billionths of a meter) wide separated by 25 nm spaces. For comparison, the most advanced commercially available computer chips today have a minimum feature size of 65 nm. Intel recently announced that it will start manufacturing at the 32 nm minimum line-width scale in 2009, and the industry roadmap calls for 25 nm features in the 2013-2015 time frame. The MIT technique could also be economically attractive because it works without the chemically amplified resists, immersion lithography techniques and expensive lithography tools that are widely considered essential to work at this scale with optical lithography. Periodic patterns at the nanoscale, while having many important scientific and commercial appl ...
