Lee Rannals for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online Afraid of a shot? Well, the future is either going to annul that fear, or make it ten times worse if you’re afraid of lasers, too. A new laser-based system is capable of basting drugs into the skin, but making it as painless as being hit with a puff of air. The only fear to get over at that point is the idea of a laser instead of a needle. The new system uses an erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) laser to propel a...

Computers may be getting faster every year, but those advances in computer speed could be dwarfed if their 1’s and 0’s were represented by bursts of light, instead of electricity. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have made an important advance in this frontier of photonics, fashioning the first all-optical photonic switch out of cadmium sulfide nanowires. Moreover, they combined these photonic switches into a logic gate, a fundamental component of computer chips that...
