New Laser Technology Could Kill Viruses and Improve DVDs

Information found at http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/07/110705150932.htm

Team from University of California, Riverside Bourns College of Engineering made a discovery in semiconductor nanowire laser technology that could POTENTIALLY do everything from kill viruses to increase storage capacity of DVDs.

Take a look at the article and see how the group was able to make a breakthrough in zinc oxide nanowire waveguide lasers, lower costs, higher powers and shorter wavelenghts.

Just a few applications for this advancement in Laser technology includes: denser DVDs, living cells could be penetrated to turn bad cells to good, purify drinking water, and drastically improve data processing and transmission.
