Researchers at Stanford University have developed a basic computer using genetic material, according to a report in the journal Science.
The team said that the tiny biological transistors they have …
In all-optical switch, nanowires manipulate light
U. PENNSYLVANIA (US) — Scientists have developed the first all-optical photonic switch fashioned from nanowires.Researchers combined these photonic switches into a logic gate, a fundamental component of computer chips that process information, which …
Light-based computers? First all-optical nanowire switch
Computers may be getting faster every year, but those advances in computer speed could be dwarfed if their 1s and 0s were represented by light, instead of electricity. Researchers have made an important advance in this frontier of photonics, fashioning…
