The technology has potential applications in low-power optical computing for AI servers and next-generation optical communication systems.", "body_md": "New technology enables light to be stored, delayed, and controlled within a single photonic chip, with potential applications in low-power optical computing for AI servers and next-generation optical communication systems. Light moves quickly enough to transmit enormous amounts of information, but that speed creates a problem when a computer needs to hold, delay, or synchronize [...]", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/scientists-built-a-programmable-chip-that-can-slow-light-on-command", "canonical_source": "https://scitechdaily.com/scientists-built-a-programmable-chip-that-can-slow-light-on-command/", "published_at": "2026-07-25 16:31:04+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-25 16:59:32.184075+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-infrastructure", "ai-chips"], "entities": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/scientists-built-a-programmable-chip-that-can-slow-light-on-command", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/scientists-built-a-programmable-chip-that-can-slow-light-on-command.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/scientists-built-a-programmable-chip-that-can-slow-light-on-command.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/scientists-built-a-programmable-chip-that-can-slow-light-on-command.jsonld"}}
