The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5,080 looks to be a couple of years away, as the RTX 4090 is still going strong. Nvidia hasn’t officially announced the card or the next-generation architecture it will be built around, but there are a few key details we’ve gleaned over the last several months.

Whenever it appears, it will have big boots to fill. Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4,080 is one of the best graphics cards with its superb performance, ray tracing chops, and vigorous frame rate-boosting DLSS 3. Its hefty $1,199 price tag raised a few eyebrows, but if the RTX 5,080 launches with a similar slate of improvements, we could be in for another pricey top-tier card.

Year 2022 Basically what this means is an infinite capacity hard drive.

Exciton polaritons (polaritons herein) in transition-metal dichalcogenide monolayers have attracted significant attention due to their potential for polariton-based optoelectronics. Many of the proposed applications rely on the ability to trap polaritons and to reach macroscopic occupation of their ground energy state. Here, we engineer a trap for room-temperature polaritons in an all-dielectric optical microcavity by locally increasing the interactions between the mathrmWS_2$ excitons and cavity photons. The resulting confinement enhances the population and the first-order coherence of the polaritons in the ground state, with the latter effect related to dramatic suppression of disorder-induced inhomogeneous dephasing. We also demonstrate efficient population transfer into the trap when optically injecting free polaritons outside of its periphery.
