...that's the dirty little secret of inkjet printing: the machine is cheap, but using it can cost a fortune. Unlike laser printers, whose powder-like ink works great with ordinary paper, inkjets' nozzles eject expensive liquid ink that looks its best only on specially coated paper. On a laser printer, ink-and-paper costs average just 2[cents] a page. With an inkjet, the price per page starts at 5[cents] for black text on plain paper, then skyrockets to more than $1 a page for color photos on glossy paper...
...contrast to American publishers, the Japanese have their markets targeted down a laser-sighted scope. There are actually competing comic titles for the young-mother set! American publishers apparently cherish their chauvinism more than their profits...
...took on McDonald's with square patties ("at Wendy's we don't cut corners"), chocolate frosties and baked potatoes. The genial Thomas was its pitchman in more than 800 television spots. DIED. ALEXANDER PROKHOROV, 85, winner of the 1964 Nobel Prize in Physics for his role in inventing laser technology; in Moscow. Prokhorov's contribution created a whole new realm of science: optical technology. DIED. WANG RUOSHUI, 75, Chinese intellectual banned from publishing in the mainland; in Boston. Wang acted as the senior editor of the People's Daily until he was fired in 1987 for advocating democracy...
...current study slowed light to a stop by shining it on super-cooled gaseous rubidium atoms. The atoms were bathed in laser light while a second beam was shined through them. By adjusting the intensity of the beams, the "fingerprint" of the second beam was imprinted on the electrons of the super-cooled atoms. In that state, the light was standing still...
That "quantum fingerprint" was then converted back into light by again shining a laser on them. Usually, any information about light is destroyed when its photons are absorbed by atoms. In these studies, the information was preserved...
