#Light-Based Data Breakthrough Could Lead To Much Faster Computers Researchers say they have developed a method to store data permanently in a memory chip using light.

To store data, it is essential a device must be able to work when power is both on and off think of a CD, DVD or hard drive.

But computers are limited in their speed by the transmission of electric data between a processor

when it is speed the transmission of the data that is the limiting factor. Using light, or photons, to transfer data could

therefore allow for much greater speeds. But until now, scientists had struggled to find a way to create a light-based device that can store data for a significant period of time. here no point using faster processors

if the limiting factor is the shuttling of information to -and-from the memory, said University of Oxford's Professor Harish Bhaskaran,

the team created the world first all-photonic nonvolatile memory chip. It uses a material called Ge2sb2te5 (GST),

which is used also in rewritable CDS and DVDS, to store data. Pulses of light can change the material's state from an ordered to a random state,

and read data simultaneously, providing irtually unlimited bandwidth, Professor Wolfram Pernice of the University of Münster said in the statement. his is a completely new kind of functionality using proven existing materials,

This is the kind of ultra-fast data storage that modern computing needs. The team will now work to develop the technology,
