A new form of silicon could create cheaper photo detectors that are easier to make in bulk. Designing Structures Made of Nanomaterials Microsoft researchers hope to simplify algorithms for self-assembling materials. Scientists find an elusive diamond structure in a Brazilian beetle. A quantum logic gate in an optical fiber could lay the foundation for a quantum computer network. Photonic crystals are being used by a Toronto startup to create commercial devices that offer better color and resolution than other flexible displays. Silicon Photonics Comes to Market For the first time, a silicon-based optical cable will be commercially available. A new way to grow various semiconductors on silicon could speed up electronics. Researchers at Intel have made the most efficient silicon laser yet, potentially paving the way for cheaper medical imaging and ultrasensitive chemical detection. Researchers are fooling around with E. coli. Intel Speeds Up Silicon Photonics Researchers at Intel have announced the world's fastest silicon modulator--an advance that could cut bandwidth costs and make computers run faster and cooler. A Nano Solution to Increasing Bandwidth MIT researchers develop microphotonic devices for communications, clearing the way for higher-performance optical networks. [1]
