The constant scaling of AI applications and other digital technologies across industries is beginning to tax the energy grid due to its intensive energy consumption. Digital computing's energy and ...

Way, way back in the day, “computing” was the domain of analog circuits. No, they couldn’t add up columns of numbers, but they could solve complex differential and other equations, and did so fairly ...

Startup Akhetonics GmbH has raised €6 million in funding for its optical chip technology, which can perform digital, analog and quantum computations in the same system. TechCrunch reported the ...

The idea of optical computing—the use of photons instead of electrons to perform computational operations—has been around for decades. However, interest has resurged in recent years; the potential for ...

You don’t need 0s and 1s to perform computations, and in some cases it’s better to avoid them. Computing today is almost entirely digital. The vast informational catacombs of the internet, the ...

With the exponential growth in demand for high-speed data transmission, the 5G system infrastructure, despite its impressive peak data rate of 10 gigabits per second, is increasingly inadequate for ...

Researchers create a photochromic fluorescent system that performs optical neural computing and visual output in one step, cutting power use and complexity. (Nanowerk News) The rapid growth of ...

Recent progress in both analog and digital quantum simulations heralds a future in which quantum computers could simulate — and thereby illuminate — physical phenomena that are far too complex for ...

Microsoft has teamed up with Barclays on a novel approach to tackling artificial intelligence (AI) and optimisation problems based on a scalable analogue optical computer (AOC) architecture, designed ...
