Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency - DARPA

Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency - DARPA

Engineers from Cornell University and Honeywell Aerospace have demonstrated a new method for remotely vaporizing electronics into thin air, giving devices and their data the ability to vanish on command. The new method uses a silicon-dioxide microchip attached to a polycarbonate shell. Within the shell are microscopic cavities filled with rubidium and sodium biflouride, chemicals that can thermally react and decompose the microchip. The thermal reaction can be triggered remotely by using radio waves to open graphene-on-nitride valves that keep the chemicals sealed in the cavities. The work was funded in part by DARPA's VAPR program.
