Today's computers reach their physical limits when it comes to speed. Semiconductor components usually operate at a maximum usable frequency of a few gigahertz—which corresponds to several billion ...

Neuromorphic systems, inspired by nature, are sought to efficiently process analogue inputs in real and complex environments. This could lead to ultralow-power in-sensor intelligent edge computers.

Numerical examples for explaining the basic procedure for computational light control. (a) Single-lens optical imaging system with three distributed apertures. (b) Phase tilt is added to the small ...

Physicists present a nanometer-sized light antenna with electrically modulated surface properties -- a breakthrough that could pave the way for faster computer chips. Physicists from Würzburg present ...

Artist's impression of an electrically contacted optical antenna (left) and the quantum mechanical distribution of its surface electrons. The normal distribution is shown in yellow, while the change ...
