Lumai is an Oxford University spinout renowned for its 3D optical computing technology and its work to develop high-performance AI accelerators that use light beams to process data 50x faster than ...

Inside a cavernous hall at the Swiss-French border, the air hums with high voltage and possibility. From his perch on the wraparound observation deck, physicist Walter Wuensch surveys a ...

U.S. scientists are developing an innovation that could reduce nuclear waste storage time by 99.7%, transmuting long-lived radioactive materials into shorter-lived isotopes. The Jefferson Lab project, ...

Microsoft has announced that Azure’s US central datacentre region is the first to receive a new artificial intelligence (AI) inference accelerator, Maia 200. Microsoft describes Maia 200 as an ...

You’ve probably seen Lichtenberg figures before, those lightning-like traces left by high-voltage discharge. The safe way to create them is using an electron beam to embed charge inside an acrylic ...

Machines like cyclotrons and synchrotrons help scientists recreate the conditions of the Big Bang and probe the very edges of particle physics. They also tend to be very big. Now, a new study details ...

Particle accelerators, also known as particle colliders or atom smashers, have been responsible for some of the most exciting physics findings over the past century, including the discovery of the ...
