A tiny optical device built into a silicon chip can reduce the speed of light by a factor of 1,200, a major step toward the realization of an ultra low-power, all-optical quantum data network. The ...
Integrated circuits are the brains behind modern electronic devices like computers or smart phones. Traditionally, these circuits — also known as chips — rely on electricity to process data. In recent ...

The speed of light is often regarded as the ultimate cosmic speed limit, but researchers have now managed to slow it down ...
Fibre optics is now the fastest and most reliable technology to deliver internet connection. Data is transmitted through fast-travelling pulses of light that bounce off the walls of the fibre cables ...
A tiny optical device built into a silicon chip has achieved the slowest light propagation on a chip to date, reducing the speed of light by a factor of 1,200 in a study reported in Nature Photonics ...
