Integrated non-reciprocal magneto-optics with ultra-high endurance for photonic in-memory computing

Check out this research from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and the University of Pittsburgh!

• In a paper published in Nature Photonics, researchers Paolo Pintus, Mario Dumont, Vivswan Shah, Toshiya Murai, Yuya Shoji, Duanni Huang, Galan Moody, John E. Bowers, and Nathan Youngblood introduce a new approach to computer memory.
• Their work focuses on using "magneto-optic memory cells" built upon silicon micro-ring resonators.
• These microscopic rings of light can be programmed with incredible speed and efficiency, paving the way for significantly faster and more energy-conscious computing in the future.

This research has the potential to change the landscape of computing as we know it.

In this episode, we dive into the groundbreaking new technique, Dynamic Interface Printing (DIP), that’s setting a new standard in 3D printing. Imagine creating intricate, centimeter-scale structures in seconds, not hours, all without the complex chemistry and optics of traditional methods. DIP achieves this using an acoustically modulated air-liquid interface, enabling rapid, high-resolution fabrication ideal for bioengineering, medical models, and more. From tissue engineering to rapid prototyping, DIP's potential is immense, merging speed, scalability, and biocompatibility. Join us as we explore how this innovation could reshape the future of manufacturing and medical technology.

This research was led by Callum Vidler and David J. Collins from the University of Melbourne, alongside their colleagues from various departments, including Biomedical Engineering, the Florey Institute, and Physics from University of Melbourne, Australia
