IMEC reports method to integrate plasmonic technology with state-of-the-art ICs
Apr 30, 2009 Science
IMEC reports a method to integrate high-speed CMOS electronics and nanophotonic circuitry based on plasmonic effects. Metal-based nanophotonics (plasmonics) can squeeze light into nanoscale structures that are much smaller than conventional optic components. Plasmonic technology, today still in a...Tags: Circuitry, Experimental Stage, High Performance Computer, High Speed, Ics, Interconnects, Molecular Sensors, Nanoscale Structures, Nature Photonics, Optic Components, Performance Computer Chips, Speed Cmos, State Of The Art, Technology Today, Thin Film Solar Cells
Making quantum cryptography practical
Apr 30, 2009 Science
Quantum cryptography, a completely secure means of communication, is much closer to being used practically as researchers from Toshiba and Cambridge University's Cavendish Laboratory have now developed high speed detectors capable of receiving information with much higher key rates, thereby able ...Tags: Cambridge University, Cavendish Laboratory, High Speed, Means Of Communication, Quantum Cryptography, Speed Detectors, Toshiba

Robots are narrowing the gap with humans
Apr 22, 2009 General
Robots are gaining on us humans. Thanks to exponential increases in computer power -- which is roughly doubling every two years -- robots are getting smarter, more capable, more like flesh-and-blood people.Tags: Computer Power, Exponential Increases, Flesh And Blood, Gap, Robots

New technique that scrambles light may lead to sharper images, wider views
Apr 21, 2009 Science
When photographers zoom in on an object to see it better, they lose the wide-angle perspective -- they are forced to trade off "big picture" context for detail. But now an imaging method developed by Princeton researchers could lead to lenses that show all parts of the scene at once in the same h...Tags: Big Picture, Lead, Microscopes, Optical Devices, Perspective, Photographers, Princeton Researchers, Sharper Images, Wide Angle, Zoom
