Over the past several decades, researchers have been making rapid progress in harnessing light to enable all sorts of scientific and industrial applications. From creating stupendously accurate clocks ...

Artificial intelligence is consuming enormous amounts of energy, but researchers at the University of Florida have built a chip that could change everything by using light instead of electricity for a ...

Quantum computing has long promised to crack problems that defeat even the fastest supercomputers, but the hardware has struggled to scale beyond fragile laboratory prototypes. A new generation of ...

Inside most photonic chips, light races through tiny optical wires. It carries information far faster than electricity can in many conventional systems. But once that light is trapped on the chip, ...

The creation of a compact source of light that fits onto a chip has long been the aim of many photonics labs worldwide. In particular, researchers have wanted to design chips that can convert one ...
