Some efforts to slash energy costs focus on using renewable sources, or on slimming down the AI models themselves. But ...

For example, the Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADI) share price is up 93% in the last 5 years, clearly besting the market return of around 68% (ignoring dividends). On the other hand, the more recent ...

Scientists uncovered a quantum spin liquid, a state of matter that may have applications for quantum information. (Nanowerk News) The blue-green lab-grown crystals look like solid rocks, but their ...

Analog computers are systems that perform computations by manipulating physical quantities such as electrical current, that map math variables, instead of representing information using abstraction ...

Although computers are overwhelmingly digital today, there’s a good point to be made that analog computers are the more efficient approach for specific applications. The authors behind a recent paper ...

A new technical paper titled “Analog optical computer for AI inference and combinatorial optimization” was published by researchers at Microsoft Research, Barclays and University of Cambridge.

Analog computing stands apart from digital systems in some interesting ways. Instead of crunching numbers through step-by-step algorithms and binary logic, analog computers model problems by ...

Microsoft Research has built a prototype computer that doesn’t rely on electrons zipping through silicon but on beams of light. The machine, called an analog optical computer (AOC), is designed to ...

Microsoft’s Experimental Optical Computer Could Run AI Workloads With Less Energy Your email has been sent Research conducted by the Microsoft Research lab in Cambridge could contribute to the ...

Nadella took to X, formerly Twitter, saying Microsoft's "breakthrough work on an analog optical computer points to new ways to solve complex real-world problems with much greater efficiency. He added ...
