50 years of 60 Minutes. Looking back at 50 years of 60 Minutes, it's worth noting that the longest running broadcast in prime time television history was created by a man with a notoriously short attention span. Don Hewitt was bored by hour-long documentaries and thought any story worth telling could be done in ten or 15 minutes. So he dreamed up this broadcast: three different segments, a little something for everyone. A half a century later, we're here to celebrate Don's very big -- and very successful idea. We'll be profiling 60 Minutes itself: inside stories about its history and its greatest moments. The formula for a good 60 Minutes story: keep it timely, keep it relevant and never be dull. "When we cover a story and report it on Sunday night and it has impact on Monday morning, that's what you hope for.

Optical fibers carry data in the form of pulses of light over distances of thousands of miles at amazing speeds.
They are one of the glories of modern telecommunications technology. However, their capacity is limited, because the pulses of light need to be lined up one after the other in the fiber with a minimum distance between them so the signals don't interfere with each other. This leaves unused empty space for data in the fiber. EPFL's Camille Brès and Luc Thévenaz have come up with a method for fitting pulses together within the fibers, thereby reducing the space between pulses. Their approach, which has been published in Nature Communications, makes it possible to use all the capacity in an optical fiber.
This opens the door to a ten-fold increase in throughput in our telecommunications systems. Fiber optics at a crossroads Traffic problems on the information superhighway Simply put, an "on" pulse corresponds to the number 1, while an "off" pulse corresponds to 0.
