Guiding the light fantastic on silica wire 'rails'

Marrying fiber optics with nanotechnology, scientists at Harvard University have created silica wires that are far narrower than the wavelength of light yet can still guide a light beam with great precision. The wires, about a thousandth the width of a human hair, function with minimal signal loss even when their walls accommodate well under half the breadth of a single light pulse.
