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 ...

Metasurfaces featuring tailored silver nanocubes could allow thermal photodetectors to approach speeds akin to traditional ...

A new type of computer that uses light rather than electricity could perform calculations faster, using less energy and less space. Computer chips are made up of millions or billions of logic gates.

Researchers have built a computer that performs complex AI calculations in a single pass of light, completing what today’s fastest AI chips need multiple steps to accomplish. The breakthrough promises ...

In a world where screen time dominates our daily lives, Anjan Katta, the founder and CEO of Daylight Computer, is challenging the status quo with a revolutionary new tablet. The innovation promises to ...

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 ...

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 ...

We’ve covered several of the ways large language models, and more generally, a new wave of artificial intelligence software and hardware, could change the way we play games, work with our own data, ...

Computer systems that are physically isolated from the outside world (air-gapped) can still be attacked. This is demonstrated by IT security experts. They show that data can be transmitted to ...
