What you see on top of may look like the nanoscale Obelisk of Light, ready to protect a tiny forces of Nod, but that’s not it at all. It’s a nanolaser, grown directly on a field of silicon by scientists at Berkeley. The idea is to rest on light to broadcast interpretation inside of computers, rather than than physical connectors, though until right away finding the way to beget which light on a tiny sufficient scale to work inside circuitry but deleterious it has been unfit. These indium gallium arsenide nanopillars could compromise which, grown upon and integrated within silicon but you do mistreat. Once embedded they evacuate light at a wavelength of 950nm, as shown in the video next.
