Replacing wire with laser, Sun tries to speed up data

Sun's partners on the project are Stanford and the University of California, San Diego, and two silicon photonics firms, Luxtera and Kotura.)

Has Sun had to sacrifice any eventual profit in return for the financial support and partnerships?; Posted by: Anton Philidor Posted on: 03/25/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
