An AI neural network that uses light instead of electricity. Optical neural networks (ONNs) offer the potential for higher speed because regular chips can only trigger a limited number of transistors ...

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 ...

As large enterprise and hyperscaler networks process increasingly greater AI workloads and other applications that require high-bandwidth performance, the demand for optical connectivity technologies ...

Continuing our look at the work of the IOWN project, we find out what use cases the next evolved generation of the infrastructure will support and which firms are likely to gain.

Optical computing has emerged as a powerful approach for high-speed and energy-efficient information processing. Diffractive ...

A new version of Cisco’s Routed Optical Networking promises to simplify complex, multilayer networks by converging the IP and optical layers and minimizing the functional overlap. The software is ...

Seismic activity plays a crucial role in understanding Earth's geological processes, from monitoring natural hazards to ...
