Over the past decades, engineers have introduced numerous technologies that rely on light and its underlying characteristics. These include photonic and quantum systems that could advance imaging, ...

Neurophos co-founder Andrew Traverso works on an optics experiment in the lab. (Neurophos Photo) A semi-stealthy startup called Neurophos says it’s raised $7 million in seed funding to support the ...

Researchers demonstrated a way to manipulate electrons in graphene using pulses of light that last less than one thousands trillionth (one quadrillionth) of a second. By leveraging a quantum effect ...

This year’s top semiconductor stories were mostly about the long and twisting trips a technology takes from idea (or even raw material) to commercial deployment. I’ve been at IEEE Spectrum long enough ...

Researchers have developed a new optical computing material from photon avalanching nanoparticles. A research team co-led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), Columbia University, ...

British researchers have created a new material that could allow for the creation of all-optical computers -- computers that are orders of magnitude faster and power efficient than today's hot, sweaty ...
