A computer that uses light rather than digital switches for calculations could help reduce the energy demands of artificial ...

A startup called Antumbra run by 5 college students is looking to throw a little soothing light on this situation: People who hunker down in front of their computers until the wee hours, until it ...

Microsoft Research has developed an analog optical computer (AOC) that uses light to solve complex problems.

Scientists have designed a new microchip that's powered by light rather than electricity. The tech has the potential to train future artificial intelligence (AI) models much faster and more ...

Unlike digital computers that crunch information in binary, the AOC embodies computations in physical systems. This avoids ...

Question: My kids are older now, and I installed a computer in their playroom. I have a ceiling light, but I would like to add a recessed light. What is the best type to use, and how do I install it?

Computing lighting that looks real remains complex and inefficient, as the necessary consideration of all possible paths light can take remains too costly to be performed for every pixel in real-time.

Researchers have created a new compound crystal material that promises to help produce advances in a range of scientific and technological pursuits. The material, called erbium chloride silicate, can ...
