This is an important step on the way towards optical computers. Phase change materials that change their optical properties depending on the arrangement of the atoms allow for the storage of several bits in a single cell.
With optical elements, computers can work more rapidly and more efficiently. Optical fibers have long since been used for the transmission of data with light.
