All-optical logic gates constitute a pivotal advancement in photonic computing, where Boolean operations are executed entirely by light rather than by electrical signals. This technology exploits ...

Optical logic gates represent a cutting‐edge approach to perform computation entirely with light, bypassing the limitations inherent to electronic components. By exploiting light’s phase, intensity, ...

Researchers have devised a way to make computer vision systems more efficient by building networks out of computer chips’ logic gates. Networks programmed directly into computer chip hardware can ...

Why it matters: For decades, scientists have dreamed of building computer chips that use light instead of electricity to process information. While our current silicon chips are incredibly fast, ...

Forward-looking: Semiconductors are essential for today's electronics, providing computational capabilities and the ability to control electric signals. They are also highly complex and costly, so ...

I fear the topic of this column is poised to unleash a tsunami of controversy. My engineering accomplice Joe Farr says that this is one of those topics that, when presented to 10 different engineers, ...
