If only Armstrong could see where his work started.

One century on and we’re still moving forward.

In laymens terms, What?

What practical applications does this actually mean? Smaller electrionics due to increased signal strength?

This would be great for two of my favorite devices:

1. Laser range finder. I've designed them; it's irritating to have to have a 150-250V power supply in a little handheld device. Noisy, too.

2. Night vision. Think night amplification devices as cheap as cameras are now.

Bring on the future.
