In theory, computers could be made around a thousand times faster by «turbo - charging» their electrical components with light pulses. (sciencedaily.com)
While it is already possible to generate extremely short light pulses with lasers, optical pulses do not have the short wavelengths required to make atoms or charges in molecules and solids directly visible. (sciencedaily.com)
And sure enough, rats cut their alcohol consumption after 250 light pulses at the rate of 5 per second. (sciencenewsforstudents.org)
