As artificial intelligence grows more powerful, so does its appetite for speed and energy. The quest for faster, smarter systems has driven researchers to an unlikely ally—light itself. A new study by ...

Scientists have turned a long-standing sci‑fi idea into working hardware, using pure light to move data wirelessly through the air instead of relying on radio waves or copper traces. The result is a ...

Twisting light for memory: New chiral photonic device enables real-time control of light polarization and data storage by University of Utah edited by Owen Ferguson, reviewed by Andrew Zinin Editors' ...

Researchers have developed a blueprint for weaving hopfions—complex, knot-like light structures—into repeating spacetime crystals. By exploiting two-color beams, they can generate ordered chains and ...

A month before arriving at its destination, the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) has already begun to collect science data from each of its 10 instruments, NASA announced this ...

Apple researchers have developed an AI model that dramatically improves extremely dark photos by integrating a diffusion-based image model directly into the camera’s image processing pipeline, ...
