Teamed lasers make smaller spots Researchers from Boston University have tapped the properties of polarization in order to focus a laser beam more tightly in space. The method could be used to scan objects in finer detail and to make finer features in processes like rapid prototyping and photolithography. |

Light Powers Biochip Gears Researchers have fashioned a type of microgear with center slots that pick up the rotational momentum from light, allowing the gears to rotate when illuminated by a type of polarized light. The devices could eventually be used to pump and mix extremely small amounts of chemicals. |

Spoke Polarization Tightens Focus Conventional wisdom holds that you can't focus light much beyond half its wavelength, which has computer chipmakers scrambling to work out how to use extreme ultraviolet and x-rays to make smaller circuits. But scientists are coming up with tricks for getting around this not-so-fundamental limit. |
