New anti-censorship scheme could make it impossible to block individual sites

ScienceDaily (2011-08-10) -- A radical new approach to thwarting Internet censorship would essentially turn the whole Web into a proxy server, making it virtually impossible for a censoring government to block individual sites.

Wow, this is fantastic news if it ever comes to fruition ...finally a free internet for all!

When Atoms Are Surfing On Optical Waves

ScienceDaily (2011-08-09) -- Researchers are working on a next-generation computer: They made cold atoms interact with miniature gold wires as small as a thousandth of a millimeter. Illuminating the wires with laser light in a special way, the physicists concentrated the light field at the surface of the wires and, by that, generated so-called surface plasmons. These are bound light fields which might enable the construction of devices for optical computing and for quantum information. Circuits based on these devices would be much faster and more efficient than present technologies.
