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 ...

Photonics is quietly transforming the future of technology—from AI and high-speed internet to healthcare and energy. Here’s ...

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 ...

Computers that use light rather than electricity to represent and manipulate data could slash the power demands of data centres and simultaneously speed up calculations. Two studies published today ...

Researchers at Politecnico di Milano and CNR-IFN have demonstrated all-optical logic operations in a tungsten disulfide (WS₂) monolayer at rates as high as 10 terahertz, according to a study published ...

The (above) figure shows how light is focused into a tiny processing unit, allowing vast strings of computational information to be transferred without the use of energy-intensive circuitry. The other ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Light and matter can remain at separate temperatures even while interacting with each other for long periods, according to new research that could help scale up an emerging quantum ...

Julian is a contributor and former staff writer at CNET. He's covered a range of topics, such as tech, crypto travel, sports and commerce. His past work has appeared at print and online publications, ...

Everyone knows the woes of slow internet connection speeds, but the Google Taara chip could provide Internet to previously unreachable areas — and at speeds of up to 20Gbps per second. This project ...

Light and matter can remain at separate temperatures even while interacting with each other for long periods, according to new research that could help scale up an emerging quantum computing approach ...
