43Researchers develop chip-scale optical abacus
The long-term aim that the researchers have is the creation of so-called neuromorphic computer architectures – i.e. computers which replicate the human brain. One central feature is the elimination of the separation between processor and data storage. “We are also computing with light – and not with electrons, as is the case with traditional computers”

41Graphene enables high-speed electronics on flexible materials
Terahertz radiation has a wide range of uses and can occur in everything from radio astronomy to medicine. The term refers to the electromagnetic waves whose frequencies range from 100 gigahertz to 10 terahertz. Demand for higher bandwidth in wireless communications and depiction for security applications has led to intensified research on systems and components intended for terahertz frequencies.
