Researchers at EPFL and Harvard University have engineered a chip that can convert between electromagnetic pulses in the terahertz and optical ranges on the same device. Their integrated design could ...

A tiny optical device built into a silicon chip has achieved the slowest light propagation on a chip to date, reducing the speed of light by a factor of 1,200 in a study reported in Nature Photonics ...

How a single silicon chip was designed to be microwave and optical signal-processing engine. The various roles for which this engine can be reconfigured. The performance considerations that were ...

A team of researchers at the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has created a new breakthrough in photonics: the design of the first optical device that follows the emerging ...

Quantum computers could rapidly solve complex problems that would take the most powerful classical supercomputers decades to ...

A new microchip-sized device could dramatically accelerate the future of quantum computing. It controls laser frequencies with extreme precision while using far less power than today’s bulky systems.

A new fabrication process could make it easier and less expensive to incorporate optical sensing onto lab-on-a-chip devices. These devices integrate laboratory functions onto a plastic or glass "chip" ...

Why AI needs high-speed interconnects. How multichannel fiber meets AI demands. How multichannel fiber support fits on a chip. Though copper provides high-speed connectivity, it has limitations. One ...

Device design begins with the anticipated workload. What is it actually supposed to do? What resources — computational units, memory, sensors — are available? Answering these questions and developing ...

Medical device designers are at the forefront of a technological renaissance. From wearable monitors and implantable sensors to lab-on-a-chip (LoC) diagnostics, today's medical innovations are more ...
