Photonics

Humankind needs more and more resources, from computing power to concrete, to meet the growing demands associated with data centers, infrastructure, and other mainstays of society. Advanced materials key to that growth were the focus of an MIT workshop.

Breakthrough could pave the way for next-generation GPS in drones, smartphones and self-driving cars, scientists say.

Atlant 3D has raised $15 million as demand grows for its manufacturing system that builds materials and devices atom by atom.

Scientists have built the first networked quantum computer using photons, demonstrating that room-temperature modules can be connected and scaled up.

Companies are thinking seriously about how to link quantum processors

MIT researchers Martin Zdenek Bazant, Moshe E. Ben-Akiva, Charles L. Cooney, Yoel Fink, Tomás Lozano-Pérez, Kristala L. Prather, Eric Swanson, and Evelyn N. Wang, along with 13 additional MIT alumni, are elected to the National Academy of Engineering.

Distributed quantum systems may be exactly what we've been waiting for.

With an investment of AU$1 billion, PsiQuantum is planning to build a photonic quantum computer with a million qubits, far larger than any in existence today - and the firm says it will be ready in just two years

If you look at the Lumus Z-30 Optical Engine for AR glasses, it looks pretty much like an ordinary pair of glasses. But it's AR.

Researchers developed a fully integrated photonic processor that can perform all the key computations of a deep neural network on a photonic chip, using light. This advance could improve the speed and energy-efficiency of running intensive deep learning models for applications like lidar, astronomical research, and navigation.

New research from the University of Birmingham explores the nature of photons -- individual particles of light -- in unprecedented detail.

A new type of OLED (organic light emitting diode) could replace bulky night vision goggles with lightweight glasses, making them cheaper and more practical for prolonged use, according to University of Michigan researchers.

As the global energy crisis intensifies and climate change accelerates, finding sustainable solutions for energy management is increasingly urgent. One promising approach is passive radiative cooling, a technology that allows objects to cool by emitting heat directly into space, requiring no additional energy.

Topological physics, which focuses on physical quantities that remain invariant under deformations, has garnered widespread interest in different areas of physics—photonics, quantum computing, solid-state physics, acoustics, and electronic circuits—due to its potential for noise-immune computation and signal processing.
