Both focus on serving technology-oriented businesses. VT KnowledgeWorks, as a business incubator, offers office, lab, and conference space -- even furniture and office supplies -- and administrative services in addition to day-to-day business assistance to its member companies. The BTC, says director Dick Daugherty, "provides assistance for developing the foundation for a business plan -- such as market opportunity, competitive landscape, and pro-forma financials -- needed to focus the day-to-day business activities." In short, he says, VT KnowledgeWorks helps businesses with daily operations, while BTC conducts projects for their strategic development.

Existing communications and computer architecture are increasingly being limited by the pedestrian speed of electrons moving through wires, and the future of high-speed communication and computing is in optics, experts say. The Holy Grail of results would be "wireless interconnecting," which operates at speeds 100 to 1,000 times faster than current technology. The new discovery, made by researchers at Oregon State University, the University of Iowa and Philipps University in Germany, has identified a way in which nanoscale devices based on gallium arsenide can respond to strong terahertz pulses for an extremely short period, controlling the electrical signal in a semiconductor. The research builds on previous findings for which OSU holds an issued patent.
