Light-Speed Analog Computing Breakthrough Promises a New Digital Revolution
The world of computing stands at the threshold of a revolution. For decades, scientists have sought alternatives to traditional digital computing, which is constrained by transistor speed, heat generation, and energy consumption. Now, a groundbreaking discovery from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) is rewriting those limits. Researchers have achieved a major milestone in light-speed analog computing, creating a programmable circuit that uses electromagnetic waves to perform complex mathematical operations at speeds previously thought impossible. This breakthrough, published in Nature Communications, represents not just an incremental improvement but a transformative step toward a … Read more
