Scientists at UNC Chapel Hill developed a new technique to selectively send specific colors of light over long distances using nanoscale wires. This breakthrough enables the creation of more controlled and effective optical computing technology, promising faster and more efficient computers.
Researchers at Tel Aviv University have discovered novel nanoscale 'metamaterial' that could serve as future ultra-high-speed computing units. These nonlinear metamaterials can be used to develop active optical components essential to the manufacture of ultra-high-speed optics-based computer chips.
A new theory of energy transfer in photosynthesis is being developed based on experimental findings that challenge the traditional dipole-based mechanism. Energy is rapidly and efficiently transferred when dipoles are orthogonally disposed, contrary to previous assumptions.
Scientists at UC Berkeley have developed a way to confine light in incredibly small spaces, potentially leading to breakthroughs in optical communications, miniature lasers and optical computing. The technique could give remarkable control over light, allowing for the creation of compact optical transistors.
Researchers calculate that ultra-cold atoms can be used to perform controlled coherent processing with light, preserving information content. This technology has the potential to revolutionize optical computing and create faster-than-electron computers.
