Most high-speed networking is done using optical fibers. The hardware on each end of these fibers has to convert the optical signals to electronic ones in order to figure out a packet’s destination ...

Over the past decades, "storing light" has appeared as a rather controversial statement, given that a photon's inherent nature hinders its spatial confinement. The first research efforts in ...

Two fully functional optical memories on single chips have been fabricated by researchers in Japan. The devices use bistable optical cavities to store the bits, and allow multiple bits to be ...

LONDON — Researchers from IMEC (Leuven, Belgium) and the department of information technology at Ghent University (INTEC) have published a paper on an optical random access memory integrated on a ...

Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp. has realized an over-100-bit optical random access memory (RAM) by integrating ultrasmall optical memories based on photonic crystal nanocavities. This device will ...

A new EU project that aims to develop a 100 gigabits per second (Gbps) optical random access memory (RAM) chip has just kicked off. This chip will be the first of its kind.

Ars Technica has been separating the signal from the noise for over 25 years. With our unique combination of technical savvy and wide-ranging interest in the technological arts and sciences, Ars is ...

Xiaomi has a habit of packing bleeding-edge specs into mid-range phones, and the company’s 2017 flagship is no exception. The Xiaomi Mi 6 has (almost) everything you could want in a high-end ...
