Superfast computing invented using light pulses for magnets
short by Kanishka Pandey / on Saturday, 18 May, 2019
An international team of researchers has developed "virtually energy-less" superfast computing using short light pulses, the duration of a millionth of a millionth of a second, instead of electricity for using magnets to store data. The new system, different than current systems which consume 2-5% of global electricity consumption, doesn't produce heat which would require more power to cool it.
