Undergrads Design Nanoscale Devices for Biomedical, Computing Purposes

Abdulilah Azzazi, a physics undergraduate with a minor in computer science, has designed novel nano-scale devices for optical interconnections, allowing light to communicate between chips and cores on computer motherboards, increasing speed and reducing cost. One of the smallest devices ever designed, at 500 by 500 nanometers, the design will be sent to a Japanese university for fabrication and will be returned to Egypt for testing.
