Scientists at the Joint Quantum Institute have stored not one but two letters of the alphabet in a tiny cell filled with rubidium atoms which are tailored to absorb and later re-emit messages on demand. This is the first time two images have simultaneously been reliably stored in a non-solid medium and then played back.

The Organic Electronics research group at Linkoping University previously developed ion transistors for transport of both positive and negative ions, as well as biomolecules. They have now succeeded in combining both transistor types into complementary circuits, in a similar way to traditional silicon-based electronics.
