A TEAM of scientists at the Tokyo Institute of Technology have created a chip laser that can transmit data between logic and memory.

According to the Nikkei Business Daily, the boffins' laser will work at 80 °C and above, a breakthrough from previous limitations.

The laser is made of layers of indium, gallium, phosphorous and arsenic built on an indium phosphorus substrate.

Their prototype is .1 micron thin. The Institute aims to commercialise it. µ

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
