(PhysOrg.com) -- Research engineers at Yale University have succeeded in building a mechanical memory switch that is controlled and then read by lasers. In their paper published in Nature Nanotechnology, the team, led by ...
Researchers have designed a new type of laser called a quantum dot ring laser that emits red, orange, and green light. The different colors are emitted from different parts of the quantum dot—red from the core, green from ...
You're going at the speed limit down a two-lane road when a car barrels out of a driveway on your right. You slam on the brakes, and within a fraction of a second of the impact an airbag inflates, saving you from serious ...
