Thanks to improvements in fiber optics, most of the information that you consume on any given day is transported by light. Quite inefficiently, however, most computer chips need electricity to ...

New chip design uses photons rather than electrons to perform calculations, and scientists hope to integrate the technology into future graphics cards to train AI.

'Virtually unhackable' chip could make GPU more power efficient and much faster at AI - by combining light and silicon for a fundamental mathematical operation ...

A type of algae found in oceans, lakes and wet soil could be used to create a new, faster generation of computer chips, U.S. researchers suggest in a study released Monday.

Unlike traditional computers, which make calculations in a central processing unit then send results to memory, the new memory cells perform high-speed computations inside the memory array itself.

Ritesh Jain, a 20-year veteran of Intel, will join chip firm Lightmatter as its VP of engineering. Lightmatter build light-based semiconductor chips, and has raised $113M at a $240M valuation.
