IBM scientists have produced a prototype optical chipset that can transfer a whacking terabit of data per second - the equivalent of downloading 500 high definition movies.
Unlikely as it seems, the speed breakthrough was produced by drilling 48 minuscule holes in a standard quarter-inch silicon CMOS chip.
