In principle, communicating with light is much, much easier than communicating with electricity. We've been doing it for much longer, in technologies ranging from signal fires to fiber-optic networks, ...

(CN) — A silicon-photonic chip that leverages light rather than electricity would alter the speed and sustainability of computing technologies essential for training artificial intelligence, ...

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 ...

We can safely say that major companies are interested in 3D printed electronics, at least from a research and development perspective. However, this may be somewhat quotidian, given what may be in ...

Two teams of scientists have accomplished the seemingly impossible feat of trapping and stopping light--an achievement that could lead to major advances in quantum computing. The experiments were ...

Look inside a science fiction computer, and you’ll probably see tubes and cubes that emit light. Of course, it’s for effect, ...

Increasingly complex applications such as artificial intelligence require ever more powerful and power-hungry computers to run. Optical computing is a proposed solution to increase speed and power ...

OAKLAND, California, May 31 (Reuters) - Lightmatter, a Boston-based startup using light for AI computing, said on Wednesday it raised $154 million and tripled its valuation as customers in need of ...

Optics researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have devised a way to squeeze light into tighter spaces than previously thought possible, potentially opening the door to new technology in ...

A team of researchers from Harvard’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, McMaster University, and University of Pittsburgh discovered a new material that can exhibit chemical and mechanical ...

Using a compact optical platform that exploits the quantum characteristics of light, scientists are one step closer to realizing the first powerful photonic quantum computer. The researchers revealed ...

The concept of edge computing and how it benefits the IIoT. Leveraging machine learning in edge computing. Lots of the talk surrounding edge computing is in the context of industrial IoT, so first let ...
