A quantum logic gate in an optical fiber could lay the foundation for a quantum computer network. It's the "nuclear bomb" of Internet repression, says John Palfrey. Silicon Lasers Get Up to Speed A new silicon-based laser emits the short, high-frequency light pulses that are necessary for today's telecommunications networks. 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. Adding noise to telecom lasers could potentially boost bandwidth. Before the Internet, there was videotex. A startup is helping consumers build their own mobile networks. A new online messaging tool is hot, but it may be too banal to last. Smaller, Cheaper, Better Lasers Affordable HD-DVD players are one potential payoff from a simpler process for making semiconductor lasers. Net Neutrality: Far from a Done Deal Legislation and industry concessions won't guarantee equal access to the Internet. [1]
