Human-made glass is thousands of years old. But it’s now poised to find its way into the AI chips used in the world’s newest and largest data centers. This year, a South Korean company called Absolics is planning to start commercial production of special glass panels designed to make next-generation computing hardware more powerful and energy efficient. Other companies, including Intel, are also pushing forward in this area. If all goes well, such glass technology could reduce the energy demands of the sorts of high-performance computing chips used in AI data centers—and it could eventually do the same for consumer laptops and mobile devices if production costs fall.
