Hologram technology: the sub-atomic future of storage?

I was recently talking to some folks at Google about storage, specifically the amount of data that's being stored on the cloud as users upload things like photos and YouTube video clips. Gigabytes. Terabytes. Petabytes. I couldn't help but wonder, as we talked about all of this...

Quantum holographic storage: it works!

Researchers at Stanford University have demonstrated quantum holographic storage, shattering long-held assumptions about the information limits of matter. Moving into the sub-atomic realm, they permanently stored 35 bits in the quantum space surrounding a single electron. Moreover, the technique allows holograms to be "stacked" in 3 dimensions....

Massively parallel x-ray holography

An international group of scientists has produced some of the sharpest x-ray holograms of microscopic objects ever made. According to one of them, they improved the efficiency of holography by a factor of 2,500. In order to achieve these spectacular results, they put a uniformly redundant array next to the...

Holographic storage ships next month!

Even since astronaut Dave Bowman disconnected the HAL 9000's holographic memory in 2001: A Space Odyssey techies have been wondering when we could buy real holographic storage. Now we know: May, 2008. Promising super-high density and excellent media flaw resistance, holographic storage has been an ever-receeding technology...

Smart holograms to monitor our health?

In a short news release, the Institute of Physics reports that smart holograms, which use materials called hydrogels that shrink or swell in response to local environmental conditions, can be used to monitor many physical conditions than three years ago. These smart holograms could soon be used 'by diabetics to...

Holograms used to test your vision

Australian researchers have developed a test that uses holograms to diagnose the astigmatic error of the human eye. 'In this new test, patients view a hologram consisting of sunburst patterns; by reporting which sunburst lines appear clearest, the eye doctor can obtain information he or she can use in determining...

Shimmering holograms to check anticancer drugs

Physicists at Purdue University have developed a new digital holographic imaging system. This device permits to watch in 3-D how anticancer drugs fight tumors. It uses a laser which does not harm living tissues and a common microchip used in your digital cameras to see inside tumor cells. The real...

Hologram pioneer Emmett Leith dies

Hologram pioneer Emmett Leith diesThank you Dr. LeithYour brilliant idea of recording interfernece patterns through phase instead of just simple intensity gave us the most powerful photographic tool known. I hope one day more people will know that it is so much more than "three dimensional pictures."Thank you.

Holograms to help nanotechnology

In a very short but intriguing article, Technology Research News TRN writes that researchers from Harvard University and New York University have found a way to use holographic optical traps HOTs to manipulate semiconductor nanowires. As this holographic approach to nano-assembly can allow for simultaneous independent manipulation of multiple nanowires,...
