ABIX via COMTEX) -- Australian scientists have made a major breakthrough in computer science. The discovery that light can be used to move information inside computers means that they can be made to work at much higher speeds. A research team from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) will publish its results in the British journal, "Nature", on 23 August 2001. Scientists have been attempting to get silicon to emit light efficiently since the early 1990s. The UNSW researchers have solved the problem by modifying semiconductors, or computer chips, and turning them into diodes.
