• Light-carrying nanoribbons.(Nanotechnology)

  - 2005-01-01

  US researchers have made crystalline oxide nanoribbons that are capable of carrying light and are flexible enough to form the patterns needed to carry out logic operations. The nanoribbons created by Professor Peidong Yang and co-researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, alongside ...

• Researchers use semiconductors to set speed limit on light

  - 2004-10-01

  In a nod to scientific paradox, researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have slowed light down in an effort to speed up network communication. They have shown for the first time that the group velocity of light--the speed at which a laser pulse travels along a light wave--can...
