Photonic computers.

Optical computing is moving closer to becoming a reality. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are looking for a novel data-storage method that uses light instead of electrical impulses as its medium. Polarized light beams directed at certain liquid crystal materials could send and s...

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are looking for a novel data-storage method that uses light instead of electrical impulses as its medium. Polarized light beams directed at certain liquid crystal materials could send and store data in that material, thus creating an optically based computer system, researchers suggest.
