To keep energy consumption under control, future chips may need to move data using light instead of electricity — and the technical expertise to build them may reside in the United States.
New advance could lead to even smaller features in the constant quest for more compact, faster microchips.
Research at MIT produces long-sought component to allow complete optical circuits on silicon chips.
New computer chip models how neurons communicate with each other at synapses.
By turning a common problem in chip manufacture into an advantage, MIT researchers produce structures only 30 atoms wide.
MIT researchers show how to make e-beam lithography, commonly used to prototype computer chips, more practical as a mass-production technique.
MIT physicists discover a new physical phenomenon that could eventually lead to the first increases in computers’ clock speed since 2002.
