1. Ultra-dense optical storage -- On one photon
   01-21-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Researchers at the University of Rochester have made an optics breakthrough that allows them to encode an entire image's worth of data into a photon, slow the image down for storage, and then retrieve the image intact. While the initial test image consists of only a few hundred pixels, a tremendous amount of information can be stored with the new technique.

2. Physicists achieve all-optical buffering of images
   02-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Researchers at the University of Rochester have demonstrated that optical pulses in an imaging system can be buffered in a slow-light medium, while preserving the information of the image. The ability to delay an entire image and retrieve it intact opens a new avenue in optical buffering -- short-term storage of information as optical images. Though the image consists of only a few pixels, a tremendous amount of information can be buffered with the new technique.

4. Rethinking last century's closest, brightest supernova
   01-09-2007 · EurekAlert!
   February 2007 marks the 20th anniversary of the nearest and brightest supernova humans have seen in 400 years. Called SN1987A, it burned for weeks in the Large Magellanic Cloud, and provided astronomers with new information that forced them to rethink theories of how massive stars explode. Now UC Berkeley astronomer Nathan Smith says that theory needs rethinking again. Exploding stars like SN1987A may have been luminous blue variables, not blue supergiants.

5. New mechanism found for memory storage in brain
   07-18-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Our experiences -- the things we see, hear, or do -- can trigger long-term changes in the strength of the connections between nerve cells in our brain, and these persistent changes are how the brain encodes information as memory. As reported in Neuron this week, Johns Hopkins researchers have discovered a new biochemical mechanism for memory storage, one that may have a connection with addictive behavior.

7. Researchers Find Why Ultramarine Blue Fades
   10-10-2006 · ScienceDaily
   The restoration of Michelangelo's frescoes on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel has left visitors in awe of the work's original majesty -- notably the brilliance of the blue that graces the Last Judgment's sky. Recent investigations into this shade of blue -- ultramarine blue -- have brought to light the pigment's tendency to fade. Researchers at New York University and Pratt Institute now have the answer to why it fades.
