Larry Dalton runs short treks into the future. It's a world of unlimited bandwidth, a place with steerable microwaves where aircraft and ships are all wired with fiber optic cable. And Dalton is convinced that such a future isn't too distant. It will be riddled, the chemist says, with plastic polymeric materials that he has developed with research teams at the University of Southern California and the University of Washington. The materials allow chips to translate electrical into optical signals at rates of 100 GB/s: 10 times the current lithium niobate standard. "This is not...Read full article
