"increase light emission 100X from Smith-Purcell radiation... slab of silicon on insulator etched with array of nanometer-scale holes... produce emissions of any wavelength by adjusting size of photonic structure and speed of electrons... creating terahertz waves, ultraviolet light and X-rays... could build electron accelerators on chip... for radiotherapy you wouldn't have to build huge facilities... generate multiple entangled photons... quantum-based computational and communications systems"
