The idea of optical computing—the use of photons instead of electrons to perform computational operations—has been around for decades. However, interest has resurged in recent years; the potential for ...

Researchers have developed a new optical computing material from photon avalanching nanoparticles. A research team co-led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), Columbia University, ...

Opaque materials can transmit light when excited by a high-intensity laser beam. This process, known as optical bleaching, induces a nonlinear effect that temporarily alters the properties of a ...

Research on ONNs began as early as the 1960s. To clearly illustrate the development history of ONNs, this review presents the evolution of related research work chronologically at the beginning of the ...

Many modern artificial intelligence (AI) applications, such as surgical robotics and real-time financial trading, depend on the ability to quickly extract key features from streams of raw data. This ...

For decades there has been near constant progress in reducing the size, and increasing the performance, of the circuits that power computers and smartphones. But Moore's Law is ending as physical ...

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "The Global Market for Optical Computing 2025-2035" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The Global Market for Optical Computing 2025-2035 offers an ...

Want to call someone a quick-thinker? The easiest cliché for doing so is calling her a computer – in fact, “computers” was the literal job title of the “Hidden Figures” mathematicians who drove the ...

What are Tunable Optical Materials? Tunable optical materials are a class of nanomaterials that can manipulate light in a controllable and dynamic manner. These materials have optical properties, such ...

Researchers demonstrate ultrafast multivalley optical switching in germanium (Ge) using a single-color pulse laser. This breakthrough enables precise transparency control across multiple wavelengths, ...
