New light-powered chip could accelerate AI and quantum computing
New light-powered chip could accelerate AI and quantum computing - Date: - June 2, 2026 - Source: - Monash University - Summary: - Scientists have created a tiny chip that can generate, steer, and read light-based information all in one device, marking a major leap toward ultra-fast, energy-efficient computing. The breakthrough uses atomically thin materials and nanoscale structures to control a unique quantum property of light called the “valley” degree of freedom, allowing information to...
Violent rocket particles could reshape future spacecraft design
Violent rocket particles could reshape future spacecraft design Stephanie Baum Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor When rockets fire into space, the insides of their engines become an extreme environment where temperatures soar and tiny particles are thrown around at hypersonic speeds. These particles behave in ways that break long-held assumptions, according to new research that could help improve the durability, safety and performance of future space and defense technologies. The...
