Fun-COMP creates first ever integrated nanoscale device programmable with either photons or electrons

Congratulations to Prof. C. David Wright whose work as lead of the EU H2020 project Fun-COMP was featured on the University’s main news webpage. The team have created the first-ever integrated nanoscale device programmable with either photons or electrons. This device helps achieve faster and more energy efficient computer memories and processors. Fun-COMP is a collaboration […]

Integrated phase-change photonics for memory and computing devices

This video, narrated by our third year PGR Emanuele Gemo, gives a short description of the integrated phase-change photonic memory, a device allowing to store and retrieve non-volatile information on optical chips. Emanuele’s research project is focused on the theoretical study of this class of devices, and on the proposal of solutions to improve its […]
