However, converting photons into electrical signals can slow down processing times since light operates at higher speeds. Photonic computing is also based around analogue operations rather than ...

Silicon Valley startup Lightmatter revealed on Wednesday it had developed a new type of computer chip that could both speed ...

Two companies have announced photonic devices that could solve specific real-world problems faster and with less energy than conventional computers.

Researchers in Singapore and the US have independently developed two new types of photonic computer chips that match existing ...

What's that Chip? Little Timmy has fallen down a well?

Optical computer chips use the same basic principle as optical fibre, but instead of only transferring information, they also process or store data. While this has huge potential, it also comes ...

With generative artificial intelligence (AI) advancing in leaps and bounds, tech giants are racing to power the energy-hungry computer systems running it all. But a pair of studies published in ...
