You may print hundreds or even thousands of pages on your HP LaserJet printer between cartridge changes, so it's prudent to clean the unit whenever you change the toner cartridge to keep used toner ...

For the first time, researchers have grown lasers from high-performance materials directly on silicon. Bringing together electrical and optical components on computer chips would speed data transfer ...

A silicon-based microchip that generates laser beams has been developed by researchers at Intel and the University of California, Santa Barbara, both in the US. The hybrid silicon-indium phosphide ...

A new germanium-tin laser could be used to speed data transfers within CPUs and integrate more easily with existing manufacturing processes -- if certain problems with temperature can be resolved.

The Future of Things talks about the advances in the optical storage technology industry, the site claims we may see the first laser-hard drive hybrids within about five years. The first laser hard ...
