Hi Steve,
Thanks for the link to the story which is fascinating.
When they mention that it is scalable from near-infrared to terahertz wavelengths
and simple to manufacture, it sounds like they might onto a big winner.
If it were just applicable to fiber-optic communications alone, its deployment
could become staggering, but there will be engineers and scientists out there
involved in totally different fields who will no doubt look at something like this
and think, "I have an amazing use for this".
