New chip design uses photons rather than electrons to perform calculations, and scientists hope to integrate the technology into future graphics cards to train AI.

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 ...

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 ...

A group of teenagers in Fairfax County have created a supercomputer chip with the goal of reinventing the computer.

Unlike traditional computers, which make calculations in a central processing unit then send results to memory, the new memory cells perform high-speed computations inside the memory array itself.

Gabrielle Plucknette-DeVito Microelectronic engineering professor Karl Hirschman opened the Chips 101 event at RIT. In the foreground are Martin Anselm, director of RIT’s Center for Electronic ...

Programming light on a chip Research opens doors in photonic quantum information processing, optical signal processing and microwave photonics Date: January 8, 2019 Source: Harvard John A. Paulson ...

Engineering researchers have developed a chip on which both sound wave and light wave are generated and confined together so that the sound can very efficiently control the light.

New chip design uses photons rather than electrons to perform calculations, and scientists hope to integrate the technology into future graphics cards to train AI.

The recent Chips 101 event, hosted by RIT on Nov. 16, kept to that premise. More than 50 regional government and corporate representatives learned how computer chips are designed and manufactured—and ...
