Stories about: photonic crystal

One Step Closer to Photonic Transistors We have extremely powerful electronic computers these days and it's great, but scientists fear that we might not be so fortunate in the near future, as microchip minimization cannot go forever in order to supply the required computing power. Photonic crystals are just one of the solutions we could imply to creat... 4 March 2008 06:01 GMT Light Conducting 3D Crystal Developed Invisibility cloaks and ultra-fast computers could one day be powered by such an exotic device, however, multiple problems need to be solved before these crystals become useful. Several metamaterials have been designed over the years, but the technological process involved in building them presents multiple technolog... 18 December 2007 08:57 GMT
