That's because its speed is not always fast enough to transport movies without glitches; you may have noticed the problem when trying to beam Bridget Jones's Diary from the computer in your living room to your TV in the corner.

It's true that they were not the first to develop an optical trap. This has been a hot area of scientific inquiry at least since 1986, when Bell Labs invented one. (Grier had done a postdoctoral fellowship at Bell Labs.) Back then, Bell Labs scientists invented a single-beam "optical tweezers" that trapped just one substance. That was a monumental breakthrough, but scientists...
...different approach to Alzheimer's is being pursued at Memory Pharmaceuticals. Drawing on Nobel-prizewinning research by co-founder Eric Kandel, the company hopes to develop drugs that reverse dementia, memory loss, depression and schizophrenia. Chief executive Tony Scullion says it has already developed a drug that fights Alzheimer's by restoring the process by which short-term memories are logged in for long-term recall.
