The study, published in the journal Nature Photonics, was conducted by Oregon State University. These nanocrystals could play an important role in optical computing, which processes and stores data using light instead of electricity.
Because light travels faster and uses less energy, these materials can make computing more efficient, meeting the growing energy demand from AI and data centers.
While the findings hold promise for faster processors and light-based devices in fields such as artificial intelligence, telecommunications and medical imaging, challenges remain. Scalability and integration with existing technologies will require “further work,” the scientists said.
