A simple computer that marries the mind-boggling computing power of quantum mechanics with the ease of manipulating light has been built by researchers at the University of Rochester. The device ...

AI models are power hogs. As the algorithms grow and become more complex, they’re increasingly taxing current computer chips. Multiple companies have designed chips tailored to AI to reduce power draw ...

In 2009, Jeremy O'Brien, a professor at the University of Bristol, published a research paper describing how to repurpose on-chip optical components originally developed by the telecom industry to ...

(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, ...

A Seattle-area startup called Pattern Computer is developing a rapid COVID-19 test based on patterns in light from spit, one of several projects moving ahead from the 7-year-old company that designed ...

I'm looking to build a new gaming machine for the first time in over 8 years soon, but looking around it looks like a whole lot of components are covered in LEDs now. I'm not going to judge other ...
