Researchers at Tsinghua University developed the Optical Feature Extraction Engine (OFE2), an optical engine that processes data at 12.5 GHz using light rather than electricity. Its integrated ...

One of the biggest obstacles to fully optical computing has been the lack of a fast, scalable photonic memory cell. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have demonstrated what they are ...

Over the past decades, engineers have introduced a wide range of computing systems inspired by the human brain or designed to emulate some of its functions. These include devices that artificially ...
