Technology Research News October 8, 2003	Design enables large neural nets Researchers have devised a neural network architecture that uses a different mix of optics and electronics than previous schemes in order to accommodate large numbers of neurons.
Technology Research News June 4, 2003 Eric Smalley	Shock waves tune light Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have used a computer simulation to show that sending shock waves through photonic crystals could lead to faster and cheaper telecommunications devices, more efficient solar cells, and advances in quantum computing.
Technology Research News March 23, 2005	Tiny crystals adjust laser colors It is possible to use a relatively inexpensive material to split and combine lightwaves to change the color of a light signal.
Technology Research News July 2, 2003	Tiny T splits light Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology have designed a compact photonic crystal multiplexer that splits a lightwave into two slightly different colors.
Technology Research News November 19, 2003 Eric Smalley	Switch promises optical chips Computers have historically been electronic rather than photonic because lightwaves, while great for sending signals over long distances, are controlled by equipment that has proven difficult to shrink to computer chip scale. The rise of photonic crystals promises to narrow the gap.
Technology Research News January 28, 2004 Kimberly Patch	Neural-chaos team boosts security The best way to send a secret message is to scramble it with a random code, and an excellent source of randomness is chaos. The trick is sharing the randomness only with intended receivers. Grafting chaos and neural networks makes this possible, even over public channels.
