- Silicon chips for optical quantum computing
- UK researchers at Bristol University have shown that it is possible to control single photons on a silicon chip. The team developed 'the world's smallest optical controlled-NOT gate -- the building block of a quantum computer.' As said the lead researcher, 'This is a crucial step towards a future optical...

- Will diatoms lead to faster computer chips?
- Diatoms are unicellular algae and one of the most common types of phytoplankton. One of their main characteristics is they encase themselves in shells made of silica. According to a team of U.S. researchers who successfully decoded the genome of a particular diatom named Thalassiosira pseudonana, these very small algae...

- The world's most anti-reflective coating
- Researchers from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute RPI have created a material that reflects virtually no light -- or absorbs it like a black hole. Theyve built this new material by stacking layers of silica nanorods. And they reached a refractive index of 1.05. This can be compared with 1.0 for...
