Forecasting Failure: By Determining Chip Quality at the Nanoscopic Level, DMEA may Avert Disaster.
Wouldn't it be great if a microchip could be analyzed for reliability without all the messy, lengthy field testing? Maybe, thanks to research being done at DMEA, it can.

Cool in a Box: COTS goes rugged quickly with help from DMEA partnership.
How do you get a lot of heat out of a chip?

How can it be done efficiently and inexpensively?

The Department of Defense is asking these questions as it looks for ways to use advanced Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) technology in harsh military environments without waiting for traditional re-engineering or risking failure of over-heated, damaged computer-based systems.
