A very cool read, the IE article drawn from a Nature publication. One of the contributing Authors is notable as well as who is funding the research...

US researchers develop 'unhackable' computer chip that works on light
Computations can be performed at light speed in this chip which is ready for deployment for building AI models immediately.

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed a new computer chip that uses light instead of electricity. This could improve the training of artificial intelligence (AI) models by improving the speed of data transfer and, more efficiently, reducing the amount of electricity consumed.

(I really like seeing the backing of two branches of the military as well)
