Submission + - IBM Takes Step Toward Light Powered Chips
wndmltudtkd writes: IBM says its researchers have built a device capable of slowing down the flow of light ,opening the door towards faster computing chips in the future.
The researchers said last week that the advancements could one day allow normal computer chips to use light signals instead of electrical signals to send data. The transition would enable microchips to process more data in less time, the researchers said.
