University Park, Pa. -- Plasmonics -- a possible replacement for current computing approaches -- may pave the way for the next generation of computers that operate faster and store more information than electronically-based systems and are smaller than optically-based systems, according to a Penn State engineer who has developed a plasmonic switch.
"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....
