Oxford Scientists discover faster way to move data between devices. They have found a new way to make data move really fast, like kilometers per second. This is super speedy compared to how data moves now.
Traditional computers use silicon to work, but it is not great for future tech like AI and self-driving cars. So, the Oxford scientists looked for a better solution. They came up with a special kind of membrane made of a material called hematite. These membranes are super thin and bendy as well. So, these membranes won’t break when you twist or bend.
To understand how the membranes work, scientists used a cool new method to take pictures with X-rays. This helped them understand how the membranes move data around. It is like looking at a tiny map of highways for data.
The best part is, these membranes can work with silicon, the stuff most computers are made of. This means we can use the new technology without waiting for new materials to be made. It is like upgrading your computer without having to buy a whole new one.
One of the researchers, Hariom Jani, thinks these membranes are like superheroes because they can change shape without breaking. They’re really strong!
Next, the scientists plan to build test versions of these membranes. They think they can make computers even faster and stronger than what we use now. Imagine being able to download movies in just a few seconds!
This discovery could change everything about how we use technology. With data moving so quickly, we could do things we never thought possible. It’s like going from a slow bicycle to a super-fast rocket ship!
