The constant scaling of AI applications and other digital technologies across industries is beginning to tax the energy grid ...

Although computers are overwhelmingly digital today, there’s a good point to be made that analog computers are the more ...

Microsoft's CEO, Satya Nadella, announced a breakthrough in optical computing, published in Nature. The analog optical ...

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

Unlike digital computers that crunch information in binary, the AOC embodies computations in physical systems. This avoids bottlenecks that slow down conventional chips and could make the system 100 ...

A new study indicates that a computer that uses light instead of digital switches for computation may help reduce the energy demands of artificial intelligence (AI). The scientists who invented this ...

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

Arista executives discuss liquid-cooled networking gear and support for Linear Pluggable Optics to achieve power and cost ...

A recent prototype developed by Microsoft Research is exploring a non-electronic approach to computation by relying on ...

Intel says its work on switching from copper I/O to optical fiber has taken a big step forward in high-speed data transmission. At this year's Optical Fiber Communication Conference in San Francisco, ...
