Artificial intelligence companies are spending billions on chips and infrastructure. Researchers think optical computing could help.

SHANNON, CLARE, IRELAND, February 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A new publication from Opto-Electronic Technology; DOI ...

Optical computing and logic circuits represent a transformative approach to information processing, utilising light rather than electrons to execute computational tasks. This paradigm leverages the ...

Increasingly complex applications such as artificial intelligence require ever more powerful and power-hungry computers to run. Optical computing is a proposed solution to increase speed and power ...

Computing is hitting a physical and economic wall just as generative artificial intelligence explodes in complexity and cost. The traditional trick of cramming more transistors onto silicon is running ...

CU Boulder researchers have designed microscopic “racetracks” that trap and amplify light with exceptional efficiency. By using smooth curves inspired by highway engineering, they reduced energy loss ...

CU Boulder researchers have built high-performing optical microresonators, opening the door for new sensor technologies. At ...

Researchers create a nanoscale light switch operating 10,000 times faster than electronic transistors, opening possibilities ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Every time you send a text message or browse the internet, your device processes information using tiny electronic switches that flip on and off millions of times per second. But ...

A nanophotonic diffractive network performs morphological image processing, including dilation and erosion, purely through light propagation.

Ternary optical computing systems represent an innovative leap beyond traditional binary computation by utilising three discrete logic states. This approach leverages the intrinsic advantages of ...
