One Step Closer to Photonic Transistors

We have extremely powerful electronic computers these days and it's great, but scientists fear that we might not be so fortunate in the near future, as microchip minimization cannot go forever in order to supply the required computing power. Photonic crystals are just one of the solution... [ read more >> ]
