Huffman Prairie Controlled Burn

Fire fighters from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and neighboring Bath Township work with Ohio Department of Natural Resources wildlife officials to light part of Huffman Prairie in 2009. Base officials are planning another controlled burn sometime this month to help maintain and expand prairie vegetation and prevent the spread of invasive woody species.

Researchers have developed a nanoscale, highly efficient optical data, with the goal of significantly reducing energy consumption. (Electrical Engineering at Stanford University Image)

Researchers have developed a nanoscale, highly efficient optical data transmitter or semiconductor laser, the key to which is a multi-layered nanophotonic layered wafer, the holes of which are almost perfectly round with smooth interior walls and act like a hall of mirrors to reflect photons back toward the center of the laser.
