This additional built-in operating system enables ultra fast boot up for access to a host of most commonly used features on its full range of notebooks based on Intel's latest platform.
With this truly convenient, instant access to the Internet, users can now send a last-minute email before rushing off to work, browse the Web in between appointments and reach friends and family via instant messenger all in the blink of an eye.
In addition, Express Gate has also effectively created two computers in one that it is now easier to share the computer. When under the Express Gate environment, Internet, music and photos can be shared without disturbing the files and setup in the Windows operating system reserved for personal use.
"ASUS is always committed to bring customers the most innovative solutions that helps to simplify usage experience while enjoying the best performance," said Tony Chen, General Manager of ASUS Notebook Business Unit. "With Express Gate, users will enjoy instant Internet access with new levels of fast speed and ease of use like never before."

Operating quantum memory at room temperature
Quantum dots, along with quantum wires, have been attracting notice over the past decade as possible building blocks of quantum information processing. Indium arsenide quantum dots (InAs) can be used for memory operations in devices made from gallium arsenide and aluminum gallium arsenide (known as GaAs/AlGaAs devices). The problem is that at room temperature – the experiments are usually done at lower temperatures, the memory operation of these devices suffers, unless there are multiple quantum dot layers.

The Best Way to Board a Plane
Most airlines board passengers the same way, first filling the seats in the back of the plane, and then moving to the front. After a recent experience boarding a plane in this manner, Fermilab physicist Jason Steffen wondered if there might be a better way. So, in the midst of studying gravitation and axion-like particles, Steffen took a short break to investigate an optimal boarding method for airline passengers.
