Watch the video. Remember, that guy is currently the CEO of Google.

Sharks with freakin’ laser beams

Filed under: Science, Technology — Tim @ 5:22 pm

Today, ArsTechnica has an interesting write-up on the evolving state of laser technology at the nano level. The long and the short, new materials allow next-generation lasers to switch on and off at rate of 100 GHz, which ultimately means a substantially larger amount of data can be moved through existing infrastructure.

Tangentially, this fits in with Roland Piquepaille’s post today on the development of semiconductor-based light detectors which can now be “painted” onto electronic devices.

Addendum: obligatory YouTube clip of sharks with laser beams attached to their heads.

Tubes mash-up — massive tubes!

Is it ethically wrong for me to really really like this techno Ted Stevens song?  Brilliant.
