Now imagine coupling these lasers to fiberdiamond fiber optics and those organic memristors that store a bit of memory on a single atom of iron. Amara gave us an article back on July 6 entitled, "A magnetic memory with one bit per molecule." The very name of these "plasmonic nanolasers" sounds like a bit of SF from the Golden Age of Asimov, Heinlein, and Clarke. The words are so new that the auto-correct didn't recognize them as words at all. Looks like it, J.C., looks just like it.

"no fundamental size limits when it comes to confining light." So we could have single photon laser gates? Wow. “no fundamental size limits when it comes to confining light.” So we could have single photon laser gates?
