A research team at Penn State has developed a plasmonic switch that may help pave the way for the next generation of super-fast computers.
“If plasmonics are realized, the future will have circuits as small as the current electronic ones with a capacity a million times better,” said Tony Jun Huang, James Henderson assistant professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics. “Plasmonics combines the speed and capacity of photonic — light based — circuits with the small size of electronic circuits.”
