Intel Silicon Photonics Chip Is World's Fastest (and Prettiest) [Intel]
MIT's Tech Review has the scoop that Intel's wizards have come upwith a new chip entirely made out of silicon that "can encode 200 gigabits of data per second on a beam of light" versus the measly 100 Gbps that the fastest optical networks currently churn at—which aren't made of silicon. Which mea

That's because it's really teeny and the easiest to stick in your pants, and it pulls off the square form factor really n![Physicists Devise Warp Drive Plans for Traveling Faster Than Light [Science]](http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2008/08/eventhorizon.png)
Physicists Devise Warp Drive Plans for Traveling Faster Than Light [Science]
Warp drives, those vague constants of science fiction movies, might actually become real, allowing for travel faster than the speed of light.
