With the barrier removed, computer designers will be able to rethink computers, packing chips more densely both in home systems and in giant data centers. As a former hybrid guy, my guess is the thermo-mechanical folks will have a big job to do.

"But in computer chips, data moves at great speed over the wires inside, then slows to a snail’s pace when it is sent chip-to-chip inside a computer." ARRRGGHHHH--dumb journalist. The data moves JUST AS FAST either inside the chip or in the wires outside the chip. The difference is that the distance to be traveled is greater, so it takes more time to get there.

Intel researchers claim chip breakthrough: WSJ
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Researchers at Intel Corp. and the University of California, Santa Barbara, are claiming a breakthrough in creating lasers on computer chips, a development that could lead to sharp reductions in the cost of ultrafast data communications, according to a media report Monday.

Closing statement:
"This hybrid approach addresses the last major hurdle," The Journal reported Paniccia as saying. "We now have all the building blocks."
