As a Pioneer Fellow, Marc Reig Escalé is braving the move from physics laboratory to practice - and taking on a brand new set of challenges. (Photograph: ETH Zurich / Stefan Weiss) - The more connected the world becomes, the greater the demands that data traffic places on communications infrastructure. ETH Pioneer Fellow Marc Reig Escalé and his team develop innovative chips that process information faster than previously possible while requiring even less energy. It's not much thicker than a postcard, and a postage stamp looks enormous in comparison. Its surface shimmers blue-black, with gold inlay. Lovingly, its creator holds it up with tweezers as if it were a precious jewel. Marc Reig Escalé has developed a chip that enables high-speed data transmission and could play an essential role in the future of 5G and similar enterprises.
