Future computer can be termed on and off using light
Want your computer to go faster? Add light! Scientists, including one of Indian-origin, have developed novel devices that could usher in a new wave of highly efficient electronics, including computers, that can be turned on and off using light. Every second, your computer must process billions of computational steps to produce even the simplest outputs. […]
