imagine a computer that processes data
0:02
at the speed of light a new breakthrough
0:04
in photonic and memory Computing may
0:06
make that a reality researchers from
0:09
University of Pittsburgh UC Santa
0:11
Barbara University of cury and Tokyo
0:14
Institute of Technology have developed a
0:16
high-speed low energy photonic memory
0:19
using magnetooptical materials this new
0:22
approach combines nonvolatility
0:24
high-speed switching low energy use and
0:27
incredible endurance all on a single
0:30
platform lead researcher Nathan
0:32
Youngblood explained that this
0:34
technology uses existing materials in
0:36
new ways creating memory cells with over
0:39
two billion cycles and nond switching
0:41
speeds their design leverages a
0:44
resonance-based architecture that lets
0:46
light flow in two directions creating
0:48
more control and Energy Efficiency the
0:51
team is now working to scale this
0:53
technology which could soon make Optical
0:55
Computing part of today's devices
