U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu today announced the activation of an ultra-high speed network connection for scientists, researchers and educators at universities and National Laboratories that is at least ten times faster than commercial Internet providers. The project funded with $62 million from the 2009 economic stimulus law is intended for research use but could pave the way for widespread commercial use of similar technology.
