TechnologyMonash Builds a Tiny Chip That Computes With Light, Not ElectricityAustralian researchers have packed multiple optical functions onto a single chip, opening a path to faster, lower-power computing — and quantum-inspired tech that runs at room temperature.
TechnologyStanford's Fingertip-Sized Chip Boosts Light 100x With Tiny Power DrawA new Stanford optical amplifier the size of a fingertip can intensify light signals 100-fold on a few hundred milliwatts — small enough to run on a battery and fit inside a smartphone.
TechnologyNew 25-Nanometer Memory Chip Gets More Efficient as It ShrinksResearchers at Science Tokyo built a hafnium-oxide memory device that overturns a 50-year-old assumption — one that has constrained chip design for decades.
