Fyo, Re: Saying "the wavelength of light" is total and utter BS. It makes no sense, whatsoever.

Normally when speaking of "light" you refer to the visible spectrum (400-700nm). And in this case the statement from the PR is absolutely right -- although somewhat meaningless, since the structures are smaller by a factor of 3-6.

fyo re <<It's the wavelength of the light [that's emitted by the laser] that's interesting.>>

LOL!

Typically "light" refers to those in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum, down to 400 nm. Smaller is ultra violet, and then deep ultra violet (DUV, currently being used). Xrays and gamma rays follow after that. The article was correct.

Yeh you are nitpicking, so am I. But you are not right :)
