Scientists have discovered a nanotechnology that could be used to make the Internet a hundred times faster than it is today.
Canadian researchers have devised a new polymer material by manipulating buckyballs (carbon atoms that look like soccer balls). The technology could be used to create optical (light based) switches to replace electronic network switches. It could lead to an Internet based entirely on light.
Nanotechnology is the art of manipulating materials on an atomic or molecular scale.
"Our discovery is a showcase for what nanotechnology is really about … creating custom materials from the molecule up," said Ted Sargent, a professor in the electrical and computer engineering department at the University of Toronto.
Until now 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."
The use of nanotechnology to make the internet faster than it is today is:
A
incredible.
B
graceful.
C
thoughtful.
D
tasteful.
