You may print hundreds or even thousands of pages on your HP LaserJet printer between cartridge changes, so it's prudent to clean the unit whenever you change the toner cartridge to keep used toner ...

For the first time, researchers have grown lasers from high-performance materials directly on silicon. Bringing together electrical and optical components on computer chips would speed data transfer ...

Lasers have been around since the 1960s, but what few people know is that they're pretty good at transmitting data - in many ways just as efficiently as fiber-optic cables or Wi-Fi. Rob Cameron ...

Feb. 11 (UPI) --Scientists have developed a way to control terahertz quantum cascade lasers using light and sound. The breakthrough could enable record data transfer speeds. Terahertz quantum cascade ...

Transfer printing is an emerging assembly technique to transfer micro/nano-objects (i.e., inks) from one substrate (i.e., donor) to another substrate (i.e., receiver) using soft polymeric stamps. The ...

A silicon-based microchip that generates laser beams has been developed by researchers at Intel and the University of California, Santa Barbara, both in the US. The hybrid silicon-indium phosphide ...

A new germanium-tin laser could be used to speed data transfers within CPUs and integrate more easily with existing manufacturing processes -- if certain problems with temperature can be resolved.

The Future of Things talks about the advances in the optical storage technology industry, the site claims we may see the first laser-hard drive hybrids within about five years. The first laser hard ...
