As artificial intelligence grows more powerful, so does its appetite for speed and energy. The quest for faster, smarter systems has driven researchers to an unlikely ally—light itself. A new study by ...

Computers that use light rather than electricity to represent and manipulate data could slash the power demands of data centres and simultaneously speed up calculations. Two studies published today ...

Imagine a computer that does not rely only on electronics but uses light to perform tasks faster and more efficiently. A collaboration between two research teams from Tampere University in Finland and ...

Aalto University researchers have developed a method to execute AI tensor operations using just one pass of light. By encoding data directly into light waves, they enable calculations to occur ...

Light is quietly becoming the new language of brain technology. Instead of thick wires and skull-penetrating electrodes, a ...

It’s a bright day for computing — literally. Two tech companies have unveiled computer components that use laser light to process information. These futuristic processors could soon solve specific ...

Researchers have been developing computers that deploy light, or photons, rather than electricity to power storage and calculations. These light-based computers have the potential to be more energy ...
