Semiconductor chips that process light rather than electricity could boost processing speeds and reduce energy use.

And while the technology sounds impressive now, it seems to be at the limits of what current laboratory photolithography can provide. At present, a 1 mm fibre chip can potentially integrate tens of ...

Quantum computers need extreme cold to work, but the very systems that keep them cold also create noise that can destroy fragile quantum information. Scientists in Sweden have now flipped that problem ...

Traditional chips depend on flat, inflexible wafers; the Fudan team replaced these with elastic substrates capable of hosting resistors, capacitors, diodes, and transistors. Once patterned, each ...

From computers to smartphones, from smart appliances to the internet itself, the technology we use every day only exists ...

Quantum technology has reached a turning point, echoing the early days of modern computing. Researchers say functional ...

The technology has significant implications for healthcare. In the BCI field, current systems use stiff electrodes that must ...

A nanostructure made of silver and an atomically thin semiconductor layer can be turned into an ultrafast switching mirror ...

Researchers in Germany have unveiled an ultra-fast light switch that operates 10,000 times quicker than today's computing ...

A new study investigated the source of a leak in a ‘miracle measurement’ from 2010 – and engineers found a potential solution ...

Data doesn’t have to travel as far or waste as much energy when the memory and logic components are closer together.
