On-chip optical communication between tiny light-based components can make neuromorphic (brain-inspired) computing much smaller and more energy-efficient. In this work, researchers demonstrate that individual nanowire devices on a silicon chip can transmit and receive light signals directly to each other. These miniature circuits communicate reliably, using significantly less power than convention
