Scientists Demonstrate Electrically Pumped Quantum Dot Micro-Ring Lasers on Silicon Substrates

Decades ago, the Moore's law predicted that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years. This prediction was proved to be right in the past few decades, and the quest for ever smaller and more efficient semiconductor devices have been a driving force in breakthroughs in the technology.
