Artificial intelligence (AI) is driving unprecedented demand for computing, placing photonic chips at the centre of the race to develop next-generation AI hardware. By transmitting data with light rather than electricity, photonic technologies are widely seen as a way to overcome bandwidth and power constraints. However, translating that potential into mass-producible hardware is often bottlenecked by slow, complex manufacturing.
A Chinese research team says it has overcome one of the field’s...
