Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

The team fabricated a number of the lasers - just 200 millionths of a millimetre high - with a metal rod at their centres, surrounded by a mix of semiconductor materials. They put energy into the tiny lasers using a much larger laboratory laser.
They found that the tiny lasers were able to harness all that energy, focusing it into laser beams of colours that are used in the telecommunications industry - all switched on with no threshold.

Hmm, I wonder if this tech would be EMP proof.
