Scientists have turned a long-standing sci‑fi idea into working hardware, using pure light to move data wirelessly through the air instead of relying on radio waves or copper traces. The result is a ...

WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a new all-optical method for driving multiple highly dense nanolaser arrays. The approach could enable chip-based optical communication links that process and ...

(Nanowerk News) Research led by Monash and RMIT Universities in Melbourne has found a way to create an advanced photonic integrated circuit that builds bridges between data superhighways, ...

A standard digital camera used in a car for stuff like emergency braking has a perceptual latency of a hair above 20 milliseconds. That’s just the time needed for a camera to transform the photons ...

The advent of big data era raising significant challenges in information processing, especially in the aspect of capacity and power consumption. Situations become even worse when we consider the fact ...

Chinese scientists have produced what they claim is the world’s first ultra-high-parallel optical computing integrated chip, delivering a theoretical 2,560 tera-operations per second (TOPS) at a 50 ...
