By figuring out how to cool down a notoriously
hot infrared laser, a team of Swiss researchers
has laid the groundwork for speeding up the
Internet and building efficient chemical sensors.

Nanotube
array could form chips
The key to using minuscule carbon nanotubes to make
faster computers is figuring out how to wire the
little buggers together without having to do so
one at a time. An array of nanotube transistors
made in bulk is a step in the right direction.
Hot
spots give away lying eyes
If a thermal imaging technique works outside of
the laboratory, you really won't be able to hide
your lying eyes.
Quantum
data compares faster
Large sets of data have unique mathematical fingerprints
that make it easier to compare them. Quantum computers
could lead to even more efficient data fingerprinting.
Artificial
crystals change laser colors
By filling the gaps in a crystal framework with
a particular molecule and twisting the crystal to
force the molecules to line up against their magnetic
nature, researchers have turned red laser light
into blue.
