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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

InVisage's new image sensor for infrared cameras could help drones avoid trees and could aid virtual reality headsets in seeing where you're pointing. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to ...

University of Utah engineers have developed an ultracompact beamsplitter, the smallest ever created, for dividing light waves into two separate channels of information. This breakthrough technology ...

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 ...

Researchers developing the next generation of computing technology aim to bring some light to the field — literally. Optical computing, which relies on particles of light called photons, is expected ...

This article will look at a technology for AI inference processing using light rather than electrons from Lightmatter and combined with traditional CMOS including SRAM memory. This article is based ...

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 ...
