3D nanoscale optical disk memory with petabit capacity

For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that optical data storage capacity can reach the petabit (Pb) level. The storage capacity within the area of a DVD-sized disk is equivalent to at least 10,000 Blu-ray disks.

New data transmission record set

An international group of researchers have achieved dizzying data transmission speeds and are the first in the world to transmit more than 1 petabit per second (Pbit/s) using only a single laser and a single optical chip.

New Optical Switch Is Up to 1,000 Times Faster

The device can be switched between its two states a trillion times a second, which is up to 1,000 times faster than today's leading commercial transistors.

The most sensitive optics yet for space communications

The researchers' new concept demonstrates an unprecedented receiver sensitivity of just one photon-per-information bit at a data rate of 10 gigabits per second.

World's fastest internet speed from a single optical chip

Researchers have successfully tested and recorded Australia's fastest internet data speed, and that of the world, from a single optical chip - capable of downloading 1000 high definition movies in a split second.

A cheap and fully optical solution for ultra-fast Internet

Blisteringly fast Internet speeds, more robust connections and a big increase in network capacity at little extra cost, even in rural areas? It
