The World’s First Photonic Neural Network Is Really Fast 

Virtually every device you use—from the one you're using to read this to the pocket calculator growing dust in the back of your desk—relies on the same basic technology: circuits containing many tiny transistors that communicate with each other using electrons. We've come a very long way since the room-sized computers of the 1950s, but … Continue reading The World’s First Photonic Neural Network Is Really Fast
