Researchers Invent Energy-Free Superfast Computing Using Light Pulses

Superfast data processing using light pulses rather than electricity has been developed by researchers. The invention makes use of magnets to record computer data which consume nearly zero energy, solving the dilemma of how to produce faster data processing speeds without the associated high energy costs.

Quantum Dots Could Make Infrared Cameras Economical, More Extensively Available

Human eyes miss a whole world out there, concealed in the ranges of light wavelengths that naked eyes cannot see. But infrared cameras can capture the secret light produced as cool stars burn, plants photosynthesize, and batteries get hot. They can see through plastic, and smoke and fog.

Quantum Cascade Laser Frequency Combs for Efficient Encoding of Information

There has been an exponential increase in cellular and Wi-Fi data traffic; however, without increasing the capacity of wireless links, all that traffic will eventually result in unacceptable bottlenecks.

Scientists Use Ultra-Bright X-ray Pulses to Create Electromagnetic Black Hole

When scientists at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory focused the full intensity of the world’s most powerful X-ray laser on a small molecule, they got a surprise: A single laser pulse stripped all but a few electrons out of the molecule’s biggest atom from the inside out, leaving a void that started pulling in electrons from the rest of the molecule, like a black hole gobbling a spiraling disk of matter.
