Using light to speed up computation
Researchers have developed a type of processor called PAXEL, a device that can potentially bypass Moore's Law and increase the speed and efficiency of computing. Researchers looked at using light for the data transport step in integrated circuits, since photons are not subject to Moore's Law. Instead of integrated electronic circuits, much new development now involves photonic integrated circuits. The PAXEL accelerator takes this approach and uses power-efficient nanophotonics.

When injecting pure spin into chiral materials, direction matters
The direction in which spin information is injected into chiral materials affects its ability to pass through them. These chiral 'gatewa...
