Say bye bye to the ones and zeros.

That's where AIM comes in. This"analog optical computer" can do more, much much faster… at the speed of light, in fact.

For a little context, photons don't interact with one another, but they do leave imprints on the matter through which they pass. AIM researchers have been able to use this fact to their advantage. It throws light, which passes through several layers, making impressions on each part of what's known as a"modular array". It's this process of projecting light through the array that replaces the function of a standard transistor.

Since light-based technologies can perform powerful linear operations, and electronic components can work on non-linear operations, the researchers have been able to combine both optical and electronic analog technologies, to form a computer that"sidesteps the diminishing growth of computing capacity per dollar in digital chips."
