Solitons in a crystal: New light source could serve in geo-navigation, search for Earth-like planets

Posted: 23 Dec 2013 07:07 AM PST

By creating an optical soliton in a microresonator, scientists have found a new light source that could serve in geo-navigation, telecommunications, spectroscopy and the hunt for new Earth-like planets.

Resistance makes waves

Even physics can give pointers for energy saving. An international team is now in a position to provide materials scientists with tips for the development of high-temperature superconductors, in a bid to make them earn their name. The term is currently used to describe materials including ceramic cuprates, which lose their electrical resistance at significantly higher temperatures than conventional superconductors, but still well below the freezing point of water.
