Specially designed molecules could lead to all-optical data switches Could lead to 2 Terabit Per Second speed

New molecules produced at Georgia Tech could enable engineers to build all-optical data routers, ultimately leading to transmission speeds as high as two terabits–or 2,000 gigabits–per second. Today’s fastest commercial routers switch data at 40 gigabits per second. Keeping data all-optical would significantly speed up transmission of large amounts of data, such as detailed medical …

Galaxies Used for Gravitational Lenses to Measure the Age and Size of the Universe

When a large nearby object, such as a galaxy, blocks a distant object, such as another galaxy, the light can detour around the blockage. But instead of taking a single path, light can bend around the object in one of two, or four different routes, thus doubling or quadrupling the amount of information scientists receive. …
