#13 - From Idea to Silicon. How New Microchip Technologies Are Invented

In this episode, we look at the small device that turns electricity into light and why it could do for communication what the transistor did for computation. We cover photonics, plasmonics, and the manufacturing limits that still stand in the way.Watch full episode here: https://youtu.be/rELx3ktdcx4Youtube  https://www.youtube.com/@AnastasiInTechLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/anastasiintech/Newsletter https://anastasiintech.substack.com Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/anastasi.in.tech/
