Research project could help create computers that run on light

[Physics.org-feed]

A new research project begins soon which could be an important step in bringing the dream of photonic computers - devices run using light rather than electronics - onto the desktop. Physicists at the University of Bath will be looking at developing attosecond technology - the ability to send out light in a continuous series of pulses that last only an attosecond, one billion-billionth of a second.

Euhm, waarom is dit nieuws? Men is al langer dan een dag bezig met korte puls lichtstralen? Femto (1000 maal atto) zijn aan de orde van de dag, ik denk niet dat Bath de enige zijn die er naar gaan kijken.


Beetje vaag allemaal maar.
