Light slowed with sound in photonic chip breakthrough
Having travelled halfway round the world down underwater fibre optic cable in an instant, by the time data in light form reaches your computer, it has to be slowed down to be processed.

Solid objects that are invisible to the naked eye, powering devices with your own sweat, reversible adhesion that will enable devices to be attached to anything, anywhere – these were some of the ideas discussed by University of Auckland senior lecturer Dr Michelle Dickinson in her hour-long session on nanotechnology at Microsoft’s TechEd 2014.
IBM researchers in Zurich have demonstrated a patterning technique capable of creating structures measuring just 15 nanometers.
A start-up is using nanotechnology in a new product designed to turn ordinary cellphone photos and video into professional quality images.
Researchers at Stanford University have used nanotechnology to create lightweight, bendable batteries out of paper.
