Electrodynamics Paradox Solved
April 26, 2006: Over twenty years ago it was suggested that Einstein's mass-energy equivalency equation (the famous "energy equals mass times c squared" relation) may not be valid in some accelerating electrostatics systems.

 Van der Waals Force Sensor Calibration
April 4, 2006: The detection of van der Waals forces by means of a capacitive microphone requires a deep understanding of the dynamics of an annular membrane driven by a small disk attached to its center. Our experiments confirm for the first time the predicted behavior of such a structure.

Excited Atoms Interact with Themselves
February 14, 2006: Since a gravitational field can be formally considered as an inhomogeneous medium, excited atoms are expected to interact with themselves via the radiation backscattered by the curvature of spacetime.

 Interacting Atoms Weigh Less
July 5, 2005: Atoms interacting via the van der Waals force in an optical trap are expected to effectively 'weigh less' than when they are far apart from one another because of Einstein's mass-energy equivalency relation. It now appears that this effect will represent a new test of general relativity and quantum electrodynamics.

After the Loss of the Shuttle Columbia
February 4, 2003: The sudden loss of the NASA space shuttle Columbia at the end of an otherwise successful mission is one of those startling events that place indelible historical markers in our individual memory,

Dr. Pinto Wins Award
May 21, 2002: Company President and CEO, Dr. Fabrizio Pinto, obtains an award for his research on the possibility to measure the Casimir stress caused by the gravitational field on a finite object at the surface of the Earth.
