Silicon Photonics: Ready to Go the Distance?
Processes for making CMOS chips are adapted for optical components.
Reproducibility of code is increasingly crucial to verifying scientific claims.
Still Seeking the Optical Transistor
Optical information handling is a critical staple for communications and the Internet, but using light for computer-scale computation remains a distant dream.
Neuromorphic Computing Gets Ready For the (Really) Big Time
A technology inspired by biological principles but 'steamrolled for decades' prepares to take off as Moore's Law approaches its long-anticipated end.
New discoveries expand the scope of computer-assisted proofs of theorems.
Green-conscious data centers increasingly will be powered by renewable energy.
The Computer That Got Down to Business
A U.K. museum's quest to get a 5.5-ton computer up and running is about more than preserving a piece of computing history; it's about understanding the constraints of programming a 50-year-old system.
