Not exact matches

The team did this by developing a memory system that accurately transfers between light and sound waves on a photonic microchip — the kind of chip that will be used in light - based computers.

«For [light - based computers] to become a commercial reality, photonic data on the chip needs to be slowed down so that they can be processed, routed, stored and accessed,» said one of the research team, Moritz Merklein.

It was the CSR program that earlier this year unveiled a breakthrough computer chip based on 5 nanometer architecture with the smallest transistors ever created.

Instead of light, computers run on electrons moving through silicon - based chips — which, despite huge advances, are still less efficient than photonics.

«Our design incorporates conventional silicon transistor switches to «turn on» operations between qubits in a vast two - dimensional array, using a grid - based «word» and «bit» select protocol similar to that used to select bits in a conventional computer memory chip,» he added.

Instead, methods based on manufacturing approaches for computer chips allow these features to be defined in the material with extremely high engineering control.

Almost all modern gadgets — computers, cellphones, games consoles, cars, refrigerators, ovens — contain memory chips based on the transistor, whose operation relies on the quantum mechanics of semiconductors.

Benyus says the strategy has already yielded a wide range of new products that may replicate nature's successes: ceramics with the strength and toughness of abalone shells, self - assembling computer chips that form by processes similar to the way that tooth enamel grows, adhesives that mimic the glue that mussels use to anchor themselves in place, and self - cleaning plastics based on the structure of a lotus leaf.

There he is working to create a computer that will fulfill his boyhood vision — a new kind of computer, based not on the regimented order of traditional silicon chips but on the organized chaos of the human brain.

The vast majority of computers in use today, including the millions of PC and Apple systems, use microprocessors based on instruction sets created by the chip - making giants Intel or ARM (Intel's, for example, is commonly known as x86).

In today's computer chips, memory management is based on what computer scientists call the principle of locality: If a program needs a chunk of data stored at some memory location, it probably needs the neighboring chunks as well.

«The first step is to see the effect is there, but the next step is to implement quantum gates based on diamond,» says Benson, referring to the quantum analogue of the logic gates that form the integrated circuits in ordinary computer chips.

Mobile phone chip maker Qualcomm showed off a previously unannounced version of Asustek Computer's Eee PC based on its Snapdragon processor and running the Android OS.

The Asian Lawyer, a sibling publication, reported last month on the Japanese firms that landed the work on the collapse of Tokyo - based computer memory chip maker Elpida Memory, the country's largest bankruptcy in more than two years.

Based on a few benchmarks, The Register thinks computers running Intel chips are going to be slower by 5 to 30 percent.

Although there have been a few connected compact fluorescent bulbs, LEDs are much easier to turn into smart lighting because they are based on semiconductors, the same material as computer chips, and the bulbs typically have a collection of chips and other electronics inside of them.
