A key problem facing artificial intelligence (AI) development is the vast amount of energy the technology requires, with some experts projecting AI datacenters to be responsible for over 13% of global ...

For decades, the solution to harder problems has been ‘build a bigger computer’— but ...

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 ...

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, ...

A team of researchers developed “parallel optical matrix-matrix multiplication” (POMMM), which could revolutionize tensor processing by enabling a single light source to perform multiple operations ...

Researchers create a nanoscale light switch operating 10,000 times faster than electronic transistors, opening possibilities ...

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 ...

WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a new light-based computing scheme that uses a photonic integrated circuit to reduce the energy necessary for cryptocurrency and blockchain applications. Mining ...

Published in Nature, the study details the first large-scale demonstration of a photonic Ising machine operating without the cryogenic constraints typical of quantum computing systems. The ...

Look inside a science fiction computer, and you’ll probably see tubes and cubes that emit light. Of course, it’s for effect, but the truth is, people do think light computing may be the final frontier ...

In a paper published today in Science Advances, researchers at the University of Oxford have developed a method using the polarization of light to maximize information storage density and computing ...

AI, machine learning, and ChatGPT may be relatively new buzzwords in the public domain, but developing a computer that functions like the human brain and nervous system -- both hardware and software ...
