As reported by telegraph.co.uk Scientists have created the world's smallest laser after they squeezed light into a space smaller than a protein molecule. The breakthrough heralds a revolution in optical technology, paving the way to ''nanolasers'' that can probe and manipulate DNA, and super-fast computers and telecommunications. ''This work shatters traditional notions of laser limits, and makes a major advance toward applications in the biomedical, communications and computing fields,'' said Professor Xiang Zhang, who led the US team. The new ''plasmon'' laser compresses light into a gap five nanometres wide, the size of a single protein molecule. A key step forward was the ability to confine light in such a small space long enough for it to stabilise into a ''coherent'' laser state, with all its waves in step. Plasmons are the wave-like motions of excited electrons on the surfaces of metals. Binding light to these o

BANGALORE: While his classmates struggled to solve a simple mathematical problem, Tathagat Avatar Tulsi would solve it in a jiffy. This child prodigy completed his high school when he was just nine years old. Continuing the trend, Tulsi completed a doctoral degree at 21 from the physics department, IISc. He has also applied for the `youngest doctorate (PhD) of India' and `shortest PhD thesis' in the Limca Book of Records. He joined IISc in 2002 when he was barely 15. Then he submitted his thesis on `Generalizations of the quantum search algorithm', which is just 33 pages long. "Despite the short length, the thesis is innovative enough to qualify as a PhD work. I was always interested in quantum computers and would like to develop software for it. Quantum computers will take us one step ahead in changing the world for the better," Tulsi told TOI. The thesis is based on his seven research publications in international scientific journals. Tulsi, who's from Patna
