MIT’s new evanescent coupler could be a game-changer for microchip integration, making it easier and cheaper to combine photonic and electronic chips. This could supercharge data centers and slash energy use, but does it mean we’re on the verge of a new era in chip design—or just another layer of complexity? Would you trust light-based communication over traditional electronics for critical data? Let’s debate! #Tech #Photonics #Microchips
