Ultrashort light pulses for fast ‘lightwave’ computers
Extremely short, configurable “femtosecond” pulses of light demonstrated by an international team could lead to future computers that run up to 100,000 times faster than today’s electronics. The researchers, including engineers at…
Scientists make Microscopes from Droplets
Liquid droplets are natural magnifiers. Look inside a single drop of water, and you are likely to see a reflection of the world around you, close up and distended as you’d see…
IBM Stores Data on a Single Atom
A Credit Card-sized Device can store 35 Million Songs IBM has created the world’s smallest magnet using a single atom – and stored one bit of data on it. Currently, hard disk drives…
Light-based Remote Control for folding 2-D sheets into 3-D structures
Researchers remotely control sequence in which 2-D sheets fold into 3-D structures. Inspired by origami, North Carolina State University researchers have found a way to remotely control the order in which a…
