...at room temperature!
The advance could remove a major bottleneck at fiberoptic routers, where light must be converted to an electrical signal and then back to light, which is costly and time-consuming. If incoming signal speeds could be modulated, routers could avoid this optical-electrical-optical swtich and dramatically increase throughput.

Let the coolness continue!

That is WAY cool!!!
I didn't think it was even possible, far less at room temperature in air!
erm, yeah ... whatever SNG said

So basically, people will be able to download porn much faster than they can today
I'm not sure this "Interweb" thingy is going to catch on myself ...
Damn, I'm sure Simons watching all my referer log entries.
Do you mean I'll be able to "Spank the Monkey" faster than 657mph?
Yeah! He's using seattleniceguy is using metric!
Now, why don't all the other Americans use metric?
only 657 Little Toe?
I think Little Toe might be thinking of the speed of sound. Perhaps he's listening to "Beat It" on the radio.
For us non-geeky types light normally travels at 299,792,458 meters/second.
I had no idea they could do this. All I can say is holy crap!

Oh goody. Our government just finished wiring the entire province for fiber-optic cable. This technological breakthrough might really speed things up in rural Alberta. See, Simon? You can emigrate to the boonies and STILL manage your internet-addiction. Angharad better starch her aprons.
