As artificial intelligence continues to grow, today’s computer chips are struggling to keep up with the enormous amount of ...

As Moore’s Law hits physical limits, photonics emerges to supercharge computing and AI using light instead of electricity.

Researchers at Tsinghua University developed the Optical Feature Extraction Engine (OFE2), an optical engine that processes data at 12.5 GHz using light rather than electricity. Its integrated ...

European researchers are developing quantum computers using light and glass, in a collaboration that promises breakthroughs in computing power, battery technology and scientific discovery. Giulia ...

Want to call someone a quick-thinker? The easiest cliché for doing so is calling her a computer – in fact, “computers” was the literal job title of the “Hidden Figures” mathematicians who drove the ...

Through the looking glass: In a field increasingly defined by quantum experiments and exotic materials, a physics team at Queen's University in Canada has shown that innovation can also come from the ...

Eighty years after ENIAC helped launch the electronic age at the University of Pennsylvania, a new Penn-led advance points to a very different way of computing. Instead of relying on electrons, which ...

Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) scientists have used a classic optical phenomenon known as the Poisson spot to create stable patterns of light called optical skyrmions, ...
