Penn researchers whip up hybrid particles that are way faster and use way less juice than silicon chips

Penn scientists cooked up hybrid light-matter particles called polaritons in a lab tool called a microcavity. polaritons do computing using light instead of electrons so they move ten times faster while burning ten times less power.

Old silicon chips are getting maxed out on speed limits and energy bills. polariton computing hits tenx speed gains and energy efficiency gains right now.
