The discovery by the Rice university lab of chemist James Tour could allow for crossbar array memories that store up to 162 gigabits

Eight bits equal one byte; a 162-gigabit unit would store about 20 gigabytes of information.

Details appear online in the journal Nano Letters. Like the Tour lab previous discovery of silicon oxide memories, the new devices require only two electrodes per circuit,

Nonvolatile memories hold their data even when the power is off, unlike volatile random-access computer memories that lose their contents

a variation of structured illumination microscopy (SIM), can now show the movement and interactions of proteins as cells remodel their structural supports

In traditional SIM, the sample under the lens is observed while it is illuminated by a pattern of light (similar to scanning a barcode).

"I fell in love with SIM because of its speed and the fact that it took so much less light than the other methods,"Dr. Betzig noted.

Dr. Betzig and his team were convinced that SIM had the potential to generate significant insights into cellular mechanics,

However, traditional SIM was not suitable for living cells, as the method was designed to generate an image by switching on all of the fluorescent labels in the cell

"Alternatively, the new method, called patterned photoactivation nonlinear SIM, begins by switching on just a subset of fluorescent labels in a sample with a pattern of light."

The combined effect of those patterns led to final images with 62-nanometer resolutionuch better than standard SIM and a threefold improvement over the limits imposed by the wavelength of light."

#Light-Based Data Breakthrough Could Lead To Much Faster Computers Researchers say they have developed a method to store data permanently in a memory chip using light.

To store data, it is essential a device must be able to work when power is both on and off think of a CD, DVD or hard drive.

But computers are limited in their speed by the transmission of electric data between a processor

when it is speed the transmission of the data that is the limiting factor. Using light, or photons, to transfer data could

therefore allow for much greater speeds. But until now, scientists had struggled to find a way to create a light-based device that can store data for a significant period of time. here no point using faster processors

if the limiting factor is the shuttling of information to -and-from the memory, said University of Oxford's Professor Harish Bhaskaran,

the team created the world first all-photonic nonvolatile memory chip. It uses a material called Ge2sb2te5 (GST),

which is used also in rewritable CDS and DVDS, to store data. Pulses of light can change the material's state from an ordered to a random state,

and read data simultaneously, providing irtually unlimited bandwidth, Professor Wolfram Pernice of the University of Münster said in the statement. his is a completely new kind of functionality using proven existing materials,
