Replacing traditional computer chip components with light-based counterparts will eventually make electronic devices faster due to the wide bandwidth of light. A new protective metamaterial “cladding” prevents light from leaking out of the very curvy pathways it would travel in a computer chip. Because processing information with light can be more efficient than with electrons used […]
