AI at the speed of light just became a possibility
While humans and classical computers must perform tensor operations step by step, light can do them all at once. Credit: Photonics group/ Aalto University. Artificial Intelligence working at the speed of light has just become a possibility following research...
Quantum needles of gold
Structural evolution of gold nanoclusters: From anisotropic nucleation to growth into gold quantum needles. The structures were determined by X-ray crystallography. Organic residues of the surface ligands were omitted for clarity. Colour code: Au (gold): yellow; S:...
Capturing ultra-intense laser pulses in a single shot
Artist’s illustration of the RAVEN technique, which measures a complex light pulse using micro foci and spectral dispersion, which is then fed into a neural network for retrieval. Credit: Ehsan Faridi. Scientists have unveiled a pioneering method for capturing the...
