Light turns into glowing liquid
09:20 07 July 02
Exclusive from New Scientist Print Edition
http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99992497

"Light can be turned into a glowing stream of liquid that splits into
droplets and splatters off surfaces just like water. The researchers
who've worked out how to do this say "liquid light" would be the
ideal lifeblood for optical computing, where chips send light around
optical "circuits" to process data...."

Small Wonders
By Tim Harper, July 2002 Issue

Nanotech's biggest breakthroughs won't come overnight. But they will
come -- and when they do, they'll change everything from computers
and vaccines to airplanes and TVs.

" Nanotech is where electricity was shortly after Edison harnessed
it, when people were trying to figure out uses for the miraculous
juice."
