For decades there has been near constant progress in reducing the size, and increasing the performance, of the circuits that power computers and smartphones. But Moore’s Law is ending as physical ...

For the first time, an international cadre of electrical engineers has developed a new method for photonic in-memory computing that could make optical computing a reality in the near future. The team ...

Optical probes have led to numerous breakthroughs in applications like optical memory, nanopatterning, and bioimaging, but existing options have limited lifespans and will eventually 'photobleach.' ...

SPhotonix is working towards commercializing its 5D optical "memory crystal" technology that uses lasers to write nanoscale data into durable fused‑silica glass. One 5‑inch disc can hold 360TB. The ...
