Bowtie-funnel combo best for conducting light; team found answer in undergrad physics equation
Aug. 24, 2018—Running computers on virtually invisible beams of light rather than microelectronics would make them faster, lighter and more energy efficient. A version of that technology already exists in fiber optic cables, but they’re much too large to be practical inside a computer. A Vanderbilt team found the answer in a formula familiar to college physics...
Alien particles from outer space are wreaking low-grade havoc on personal electronic devices
Feb. 17, 2017—You may not realize it but alien subatomic particles raining down from outer space are wreaking low-grade havoc on your smartphones, computers and other personal electronic devices. When your computer crashes and you get the dreaded blue screen or your smartphone freezes and you have to go through the time-consuming process of a reset, most...
