Researchers at Chalmers in Sweden have shown that a surface emitting laser - a cheaper and more energy-efficient type of laser for fibre optics than conventional lasers - can deliver error-free data at a record speed of 40 Gbit/s. The break-through could lead to faster Internet traffic, computers and mobile phones...
