““Rainbow-on-a-chip” breakthrough could help unlock 6G networks and precision timing for quantum technologies" (2026) - Loughborough University Media Centre.
“We’ve essentially created an incredibly precise and stable ‘rainbow on a chip’, where the loop keeps feeding the light back through the chip, allowing these states to build up efficiently, start on their own and remain stable even when the system is disturbed”, said Dr Peters.
