Single Quantum Dot Nanowire Photodetectors

Moving a step closer toward quantum computing, a research team in the Netherlands recently fabricated a photodetector based on a single nanowire, in which the active element is a single quantum dot with a volume of a mere 7,000 cubic nanometers.




Photodetectors based on single quantum dots are expected to find uses in optoelectrical interfaces in future quantum computers, where single photons will carry information over long distances and single electrons will be used for computation....

Louder than words

A cool image viewer application i stumbled across - Cooliris. This is just one of the many image viewer applications out there which have made building image galleries an easy job.

Long time no post in here from Festoon Media..  i guess we are all still recovering from the [World Cup] football fever. Anyways to start afresh with our posts in here.. nothing like a few images to kickstart the blog again.. after all images speak louder than words.
