What happens when silicon reaches its limit and electrons can no longer keep up with our hunger for artificial intelligence? Scientists may have found the answer—not in electricity, but in light. This breakthrough sheds light on the ability not only to compute, but also to remember. For the first time, a photonic chip combines speed, efficiency, and memory, opening the door to processors that could run a supercomputer on the energy of a single bulb. Yet challenges remain, and a global race is underway. This is the story of computing at the speed of light.
