| Zusammenfassung: | Scientists at IBM Research (Yorktown Heights, NY) have developed silicon MachZehnder electro-optic modulators so tiny that supercomputers-consisting of thousands of individual processor "brains" connected by miles of copper wires-could one day fit into a laptop personal computer using the same amount of energy expended by a light bulb. |
