China team cuts 3D optical chip production time from hours to seconds
The News
Artificial intelligence is increasing demand for computing power. Photonic chips, which use light instead of electricity, are seen as a solution to bandwidth and power constraints but face manufacturing challenges. A Chinese research team claims to have reduced the production time of 3D optical chips from hours to seconds, potentially overcoming a key bottleneck.
