Do computer users really need blue light-filtering glasses? Your email has been sent It’s 2 p.m., and you’ve been staring at your laptop screen all day. We’ve all been there: Itchy eyes, blurry vision ...

A simple computer that marries the mind-boggling computing power of quantum mechanics with the ease of manipulating light has been built by researchers at the University of Rochester. The device ...

AI models are power hogs. As the algorithms grow and become more complex, they’re increasingly taxing current computer chips. Multiple companies have designed chips tailored to AI to reduce power draw ...

A new type of computer that uses light rather than electricity could perform calculations faster, using less energy and less space. Computer chips are made up of millions or billions of logic gates.

As artificial intelligence grows more powerful, so does its appetite for speed and energy. The quest for faster, smarter systems has driven researchers to an unlikely ally—light itself. A new study by ...

From the moment we wake up until we close our eyes to sleep, we are surrounded by screens. Even if your job doesn't necessitate staring at a monitor all day, studies show that we spend an average of ...

A Seattle-area startup called Pattern Computer is developing a rapid COVID-19 test based on patterns in light from spit, one of several projects moving ahead from the 7-year-old company that designed ...

I'm looking to build a new gaming machine for the first time in over 8 years soon, but looking around it looks like a whole lot of components are covered in LEDs now. I'm not going to judge other ...
