Today, Ageia Technologies announced that they have acquired Meqon Research AB. A Sweden-based physics development company, Meqon's technology is being used in Duke Nukem Forever. Meqon's Game Dynamics SDK will be integrated into Ageia's PhysX SDK.

"Ageia is a physics juggernaut in the games industry with its strategic acquisitions and its groundbreaking Ageia PhysX processor," said Meqon CEO Jonas Lindqvist. "Our team is thrilled to join forces with AGEIA to transform the future of next-generation games."

"Meqon is a perfect match for the philosophy and technology of AGEIA, and we will hit the ground running to integrate Meqon technology into the Ageia PhysX SDK," said Manju Hegde, founder and CEO of AGEIA. "Following our acquisition of NovodeX last year, the acquisition of Meqon unites the world's most advanced physics technology under one roof, and is a key milestone in our relentless pursuit of physics excellence."
