Every time a transistor switches, it generates heat. Pack enough transistors together and you hit a wall: the chip melts before it computes. This thermal ceiling is why Splunk notes that “as physical ...

Data center AI is driving a dramatic ramp in the growth of silicon photonics foundries: 8X growth in just 6 years, from 2026 to 2032. Scale-out is the major driver now. Scale-up will become the ...

Scientists have developed the first electrically pumped continuous-wave semiconductor laser composed exclusively of elements from the fourth group of the periodic table -- the 'silicon group'. Built ...

CEO details how the innovation, which shrinks free space optics into a fingernail-sized piece of hardware, could extend to data centers and space ...

Taara already uses optical systems to extend high-speed internet to places where traditional infrastructure is difficult to deploy. Its first system, Taara Lightbridge, is now deployed in over 20 ...

Copper connections in large AI systems, where thousands of processors collaborate to train models or analyze information, often slow down data transmission. But silicon photonics may be stepping in to ...

While photonic computing theoretically offers high speed and low power consumption, representing a potential solution to various contemporary computing challenges, it previously gained little traction ...
