Summary
Monash University researchers built a single chip that generates, routes and detects light-based valleytronic signals, overcoming a key integration hurdle that had kept those functions separate.
2 atom-thin materials paired with engineered metasurfaces let the device control light at nanoscale dimensions, using a stacking approach that avoids difficult direct growth on photonic structures.
Room-temperature operation gives the chip an advantage over many quantum systems that need extreme cooling, supporting more practical photonic computing and communications hardware.
2 separate images were encoded and processed simultaneously, showing the device can handle multiple information streams for AI, quantum computing, optical communications and advanced imaging.
