- Improving chip density by a factor of 100
- According to the semiconductor industry, maskless nanolithography is a flexible nanofabrication technique which suffers from low throughput. But now, engineers at the University of California at Berkeley have developed a new approach that involves 'flying' an array of plasmonic lenses just 20 nanometers above a rotating surface. With this approach,...

- Supercomputer performs prostate surgery
- A supercomputer at the Texas Advanced Computing Center TACC recently piloted a laser to perform prostate surgery on a dog. The operation was done in Houston without the intervention of a human surgeon while the Lonestar supercomputer, a Dell Linux Cluster with 5,840 processors, was in Austin. According to TACC,...

- The first optical pacemaker
- According to a short news release from the Optical Society of America OSA, an international team of scientists at Osaka University in Japan has used a femtosecond laser pacemaker to control heart muscle cells. So far, this optical pacemaker will only be used for laboratory research. As writes OSA, 'exposing...

- A single-photon channel to space
- According to the Institute of Physics IOP, European researchers have successfully identified individual returning photons from space 'after firing and reflecting them off of a space satellite in orbit almost 1,500 kilometers above the earth.' This experiment could lead to a global quantum-encrypted communications network in the future. In other...

- Data trips between light and sound
- As you probably are aware, future communications networks will certainly be based on optics. A research team led by Duke University physicists has done an important discovery which might lead to these future super-fast optical communications networks. The team has found a way to store information coming from a beam...

- How lasers cut flesh
- Lasers might be at the cutting edge of surgery, but scientists still don't know much about how laser lights interact with living tissue. Now, researchers at Vanderbilt University have investigated how ultraviolet lasers are cutting living tissues. As you could have guessed, 'the effect that powerful lasers have on actual...

- Attosecond X-ray light pulses
- Before going further, do you know what is an attosecond? It's 10-18 second or just a billionth of a billionth of a second. And German researchers have showed that a 'flash of light can be shorter than the time it takes the wave carrying the flash to perform a full...

- All metals can turn black
- Researchers at the University of Rochester have found a way to change the properties of almost any metal by using a femtosecond laser pulse. This ultra-intense laser blast creates true black metal from copper, gold or zinc by forming nanostructures at the surface of the metal. As these nanostructures capture...
