Intel researchers claim chip breakthrough: WSJ
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Researchers at Intel Corp. and the University of California, Santa Barbara, are claiming a breakthrough in creating lasers on computer chips, a development that could lead to sharp reductions in the cost of ultrafast data communications, according to a media report Monday.

Closing statement:
"This hybrid approach addresses the last major hurdle," The Journal reported Paniccia as saying. "We now have all the building blocks."
