Data centers -; dedicated spaces for storing, processing and disseminating data -; enable everything from cloud computing to video streaming. In the process, they consume a large amount of energy transferring data back and forth inside the center. With demand for data growing exponentially, there is increasing pressure for data centers to become more energy efficient.
In a paper published online July 4 in Nature Nanotechnology, researchers report the design of an energy-efficient, silicon-based non-volatile switch that manipulates light through the use of a phase-change material and graphene heater, which could aid in making data centers more energy efficient.
