Thanks to improvements in fiber optics, most of the information that you consume on any given day is transported by light. Quite inefficiently, however, most computer chips need electricity to ...

Technology Electronics Light-powered computer chip can train AI much faster than components powered by electricity News By Keumars Afifi-Sabet published March 25, 2024 ...

The company says its chip runs 1.5 to 10 times faster than a top-of-the-line Nvidia A100 AI chip, depending on the task. Running a natural language model called BERT, for example, Lightmatter says ...

Stock image showing a computer chip shining light. Scientists have designed a new microchip that's powered by light rather than electricity.

The recent Chips 101 event, hosted by Rochester Institute of Technology’s Government and Community Relations on Nov. 16 at the university, kept to that premise. More than 50 regional government and ...

Becoming the Silicon Valley of the Northeast may have as much power as the computer chips that will soon be designed and developed in the upstate New York region. The recent Chips 101 event, hosted by ...

We’re getting closer to the point where we can process information on computer chips using light instead of electricity. A new study published in the journal Science explains how researchers at ...

Computer components are shrinking, but the chips they sit on keep getting larger, creating information delays from one circuit to another. So electrical and computer engineer Kenneth O is creating a ...

But if we could use light, made up of photons, instead of electricity, we could make transistors even faster. My work, on finding ways to integrate light-based processing with existing chips, is ...
