Scientists say they have found a way to use carbon nanotubes to create super hi-resolution holographic images in a process that could pave the way for 3D holographic video. Carbon nanotubes, are exceptionally small manmade materials that are several times thinner than a wavelength of visible light. They are essentially long, thin hollow pipes only…

Scientists have just generated the world’s fastest laser light pulse, a beam that shoots for 67 attoseconds, or 0.000000000000000067 seconds.  Such a quick burst is useful for allowing scientists to view extremely fast quantum mechanical processes, such as movement of electrons during chemical reactions.  According to Wired magazine: To achieve their record-setting blast, the researchers…
