Clearly articulated by Gabriel A. Silva, Professor of Bioengineering and Neurosciences at the University of California San Diego[/quote]

Notice how carefully the article and the quotes avoid saying that their invention actually exists. No measurements of real world performance. No measurements at all. Nothing real on their website or their self-published "research paper".

Not even a photograph. Only a rendering.

This is a 10 year plan to invent something in the future, not an invention now. It's like Theranos. [/quote]

That article was careful. The local article said, "A group of teenagers in Fairfax County have created a supercomputer chip with the goal of reinventing the computer." Which is a flat out lie. To fabricate a chip capable of being used in a supercomputer using light instead of electricity would require resources that no high schooler possesses [/quote]
