Photonic memory development for AI processing has been problematic. It gains speed by sacrificing energy usage. For the first time, however, an international team of electrical engineers developed a new method for photonic in-memory…

A new intelligent photonic-sensing computing chip processes, transmits, and reconstructs images of a scene within nanoseconds. This will enable extremely high-speed image processing edge intelligence for machine vision apps, including…

Telecommunications has been undergoing a profound transformation, primarily driven by advancements in photonics. Let's see how optical fibers, laser technology, and recent breakthroughs are shaping the future of telecom. Photonics plays…

According to photonics researchers, the amount of time taken up by an optical signal limits the amount of data that can be carried. Temporally shorter signals allow more data to be squeezed into a given time duration, in a method called…

Diamond, at 10 on the Mohs scale, is the hardest material in nature. Now, the results of joint research led by the City University of Hong Kong (CityU) shows potential for the use of strained diamonds in advanced functional devices in…

With increased demands on our internet infrastructure with schools closed and the majority of the world working from home during the coronavirus pandemic, our need for continued energy efficiency and bandwidth continues to grow. Light,…

Until now, it has been only technically possible to implement encryption mechanisms with entangled photons in the near-infrared range of 700 to 1550 nanometers. However, these shorter wavelengths have disadvantages, especially in…

Even if we think we’re drowning in data, the socio-economic reality of life on a hot and crowded planet means we need to come up with solutions fast. Being able to quickly process and share that data is key. Now a new approach to…

New possibilities arise in the world of nanophotonics thanks to researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. These researchers have discovered a brand new way to capture, amplify and link light to matter at the nanolevel/…
