Optical Quantum Memory Designed Quantum computers that use photons rather than atoms or electrons are appealing because the equipment needed to handle them can be relatively simple. A scheme for trapping photons in fiber-optic loops and replacing the photons that the loops absorb could be the answer. mark for My Articles 254 similar articles

Nanotube Forms Drive Shaft A researcher from the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering in Singapore has fashioned a drive shaft that is 1,000 times narrower than a human hair. The component could someday be used in machines that are smaller than bacteria. mark for My Articles 253 similar articles

Robo Power Walking Members of UC Berkeley's engineering department showcased the Berkeley Lower Extremity Exoskeleton (BLEEX), one of the first advanced exoskeletons to provide muscular assistance to humans. Within two years BLEEX should be available for soldiers and firefighters. Eventually, it could help disabled people walk. mark for My Articles 6 similar articles
