Scientists have given a fascinating new insight into the next steps to develop fast, energy-efficient, future computing systems that use light instead of electrons to process and store information - incorporating hardware inspired directly by the functioning of the human brain.
A team of scientists, including Professor C. David Wright from the University of Exeter, has explored the future potential for computer systems by using photonics in place of conventional electronics.
The article is published today (January 29th 2021) in the prestigious journal
Nature Photonics.
The study focuses on potential solutions to one of the world s most pressing computing problems - how to develop computing technologies to process this data in a fast and energy efficient way.

two full years before the recent $2 billion loss fiasco. concerns about the roguish trading team started in 2010. but the bank did not take any action. the ceo jamie dimon set to testify on capitol hill tomorrow where he will provide a detailed review of what went so wrong. officials say one death has been confirmed and an out of control colorado blaze that damaged 118 structures. the remans of a 62-year-old woman have been recovered in the fire area. the wildfire has nearly doubled to 58 square miles forcing hundreds of evacuations. in new mexico, crews are making progress against the largest fire in their state s history. the blaze is now nearly 40% contained. here is a simple headline this morning. it was all a hoax. the coast guard says a reported explosion on a yacht off central new jersey likely, yeah, never happened. it all started with an emergency call from a boat calling itself, the blind date. well the caller claimed the vessel sank but everybody aboard made
