Whispers_in_the_dark writes "Scientific American is running an article on how a new type of polymer sandwich could be used in the future to push lightwave encoding of data up to around 200 GHz instead of the 10 GHz that is the upper bound today. The best part is that the new deviceswill be cheaper to produce than the current ones, after mass production presumably."
