World Record: Light Freezed For One Minute And Released!
Posted: Sat Aug 10, 2013 6:07 pm
Saturdays there's a science page my newspaper, and today a really interesting progress is the main topic:
Conservation of information inside a magnetically and high-frequency pulsed shielded crystal containing Praseodym ions is now possible. The shielding from outer influences is essential and controlled by a computer-algorithm. A stripe-pattern of laserlight was preserved for a whole minute and could be read-out afterwards. This is a major step towards optical circuits, the team is now working on storing information for up to one week and getting higher bandwith and data transfer-rates.
The paper is to be found at:

I wonder how long it will take until Intel releases its first optical-cpu? And when late-adopters like me will get a nice PC for less than €1.000,-
Edit: I just wrote this down because I think it could turn out as a major step towards digital omortality...
