Researchers at Cardiff University have shown tiny light-emitting nanolasers less than a tenth of the size of the width of a human hair can be integrated into silicon chip design. The photonic band-edge lasers can operate at superfast speeds and have the potential to help the global electronics industry deliver a range of new applications—from optical computing…
‘Super-Cool’ Observatory To Explore Hidden Universe
A space mission designed to solve fundamental questions about how galaxies and forming planetary systems grow and evolve will be considered by the European Space Agency (ESA). The project, named SPICA (Space Infrared Telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics), will involve scientists from the University’s School of Physics and Astronomy, and will be considered by ESA…
