Artificial intelligence is everywhere these days, becoming unavoidable even for those who have no interest in it and people who don't want AI on their devices. No matter how you feel about the ...

A computer chip that calculates with light instead of electrical current has passed a milestone that researchers have chased for decades: it can run real neural-network tasks, on a sliver of silicon, ...

A powerful light source bigger than a London double-decker bus has set a record: it can create structures on a silicon wafer that are just 8 nanometres (nm) wide. Those are thought to be the smallest ...

A major obstacle may be standing in the way of the next generation of ultra-tiny computer chips. Researchers discovered that many promising 2D materials lose their advantages because an invisible ...
