How do electronics compare to photonics thermal radiation wise? Though as always with electrical based electronics - superconductors are room temperature are always heralded to be the big jump in many things. As always, soon, much like photonics or let alone the ability to easily design and implement asynchronous circuits, let alone CPU's. Though I do wonder what other industries have the equivalent to moore's law driving them in both advancements and marketing? I'm kinda drawing a blank of anything that has any progress metric defined. Though hopefully somebody else knows of something comparable in another form of production/business.
