Nathan Myhrvold and team’s latest inventions — as brilliant as they are bold — remind us that the world needs wild creativity to tackle big problems like malaria. And just as that idea sinks in, he rolls out a live demo of a new, mosquito-zapping gizmo you have to see to believe.

SPIE: quantum memory based on rare-earth ion-doped crystals
Elizabeth Goldschimdt explains research at NIST on a solid-state quantum memory and single photon gun, promising for a variety of quantum information applications.
SPIE: Federico Capasso on the quantum cascade laser
The mature technology of the QCL is now finding commercial applications.
Federico Capasso and collaborators invented the quantum cascade laser (QCL), a fundamentally new light source whose emission wavelength can be designed to cover the entire spectrum from mid to far infrared by tailoring the active region layer thickness. The Capasso Group at Harvard University has expanded QCL research to new coherent light sources utilizing intracavity nonlinear optical effects.
