For the first time a rainbow of light has been trapped using a lens and a plate of glass using a technique that could open the doors to a whole new era of telecommunications and optical computing.
Oh, to catch a rainbow. Well, it's been done for the first time ever – and with just a simple lens and a plate of glass at that. The technique could be used to store information using light, a boon for optical computing and telecommunications.
