Until scientists have been unsuccessful in realizing theoreticians predictions of the power of light to control light. The failure of real materials to live up to their theoretical potential has become known as the Kuzyk quantum gap. Mark Kuzyk is the Washington State University physics professor who first identified this gap between materials theoretical and actual performance. It could lead to an Internet based entirely on light. The new technology aims to solve that problem. Please enter valid email address Thank You! Subscription accepted.

Electronics do not afford the same speed of information conveyance that optics do, and that gives rise to what has become referred to as the electronics bottleneck on the Internet, Sargent said.

The material designed by the researchers creates clear smooth film that allows photons light particles to pick up one anothers patterns. Our discovery is showcase for what nanotechnology is really about creating custom materials from the molecule up, said Ted Sargent, professor in the electrical and computer engineering department at the University of Toronto.

Speaking of the new discovery, he said, This team has succeeded where all other researchers have failed. The latest technology was described in the issue of the scientific journal Nano Letters.

Nanotechnology is the of manipulating materials on an atomic or molecular scale. But transmitting information from one highspeed network to another involves passing through slower, electronic switches and routers.
