The creative new approach could lead to more energy-efficient machine-learning hardware. On a table in his lab at the University of Pennsylvania, physicist Sam Dillavou has connected an array of ...

Researchers at Kyushu University have designed a class of molecules whose ability to amplify light energy can be actively ...

As any surfer will tell you, waves pack a powerful punch. Now, we are one step closer to capturing the energy behind the ocean’s constant ebb and flow with an improved “blue energy” harvesting device.

Physicists propose a novel way to create photoconductive circuits, where the circuit is directly patterned onto a glass surface with femtosecond laser light. The new technology may one day be useful ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. A most critical device in an optical networking system is the laser diode, since it’s responsible for converting the ...

While there are lots of things that artificial intelligence can't do yet—science being one of them—neural networks are proving themselves increasingly adept at a huge variety of pattern recognition ...
