Plasmonic Resonators Could Pave the Way for Ultra-Fast Computer Chips

by using light (photon) instead of electricity (electron) for data transmission

Researchers at Julius-Maximilians-Universität (JMU) and Southern Denmark University (SDU) have made advances in plasmonic resonators that could pave the way for developing 1000x faster computer chips. The team has achieved electrically controlled modulation, meaning, that researchers have found a way to control plasmons using electrical signals. This could be a breakthrough in using light (photon) instead of electricity (electron) in computer chips for faster processing.
