nanotechnology

This schematic shows an engineered material with composite layers. Layers of carbon fibers (the long silver tubes) have microscopic forests of carbon nanotubes between them (the array of tiny brown objects). These tiny, densely packed fibers grip and hold the layers together, like ultrastrong Velcro, preventing the layers from peeling or shearing apart.

The new component is made of silicon nitride and consists of nine separate waveguides (left). Each waveguide is composed of 22 spirals and can amplify light by about ten times with a noise figure of only 1.2 decibels. Each spiral (right) has an area of 1 square millimeter and the shape enables the compact design of the amplifier.
