...WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE REST OF US: The Nobel committee decided this was the year to honor the world of information technology. Alferov and Kroemer's semiconductors allow us to transmit information over fiber-optical cables, satellites and cell phones. Kilby played a key role in the development of the microchips that act as brains in our cars, washing machines and personal computers...
September usually sees a bump in the reported cases of head lice as kids go back to school. Despite the common misconception that lice can leap tall buildings, like fleas, they're actually crablike crawlers, moving from scalp to scalp. Though lice don't usually transmit disease, they can cause a lot of discomfort, embarrassment and missed school days, so parents should deal with head lice the moment they become aware of an infestation...

What optical-networking companies do is provide the equipment--filters, amplifiers, converters--and systems to companies that are feverishly building out the Internet, such as Level 3, AT&T and Qwest. Although optical fibers that transmit light waves have been around since the 1970s, only in the past few years have companies like JDS Uniphase and Corning figured out how to send prodigious amounts of information through those fibers by dividing light waves into channels and then packing data into each channel. A single channel is like a light bulb going on and off 10 billion times a second, flashing...
