Silicon photonic chips

Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania have successfully developed a new chip that uses light waves to perform the mathematical calculations needed to train artificial intelligence. This innovation is believed to have the potential to revolutionize the performance of computer chips, not only significantly improving processing speeds but also reducing energy consumption, and is expected to play an important role in protecting online privacy.
