Two teams of scientists have accomplished the seemingly impossible feat of trapping and stopping light--an achievement that could lead to major advances in quantum computing. The experiments were ...

In principle, communicating with light is much, much easier than communicating with electricity. We've been doing it for much longer, in technologies ranging from signal fires to fiber-optic networks, ...

Carbon nanotubes are moving from lab curiosities to workhorse components in quantum hardware, and one of the most striking examples is their use as single-photon light sources. By exploiting their ...

We can safely say that major companies are interested in 3D printed electronics, at least from a research and development perspective. However, this may be somewhat quotidian, given what may be in ...

Look inside a science fiction computer, and you’ll probably see tubes and cubes that emit light. Of course, it’s for effect, ...

(CN) — A silicon-photonic chip that leverages light rather than electricity would alter the speed and sustainability of computing technologies essential for training artificial intelligence, ...

Quantum computers have the potential to drastically outperform traditional computers, but for now they’re mostly limited to labs and big experimental setups. Japanese researchers have now made a step ...

Optics researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have devised a way to squeeze light into tighter spaces than previously thought possible, potentially opening the door to new technology in ...

COMPUTERS that operate at the speed of light have come a step closer. Researchers have devised a light-based transistor made of semiconducting nanowires that could be a key building block of machines ...

A team of researchers from Harvard’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, McMaster University, and University of Pittsburgh discovered a new material that can exhibit chemical and mechanical ...

AI, machine learning, and ChatGPT may be relatively new buzzwords in the public domain, but developing a computer that functions like the human brain and nervous system -- both hardware and software ...
