In this episode, we cover how NASA's latest Moon landing relies on photonics tech, a silicon photonic chip that advances AI computing, and how tellurite glass could be an effective semiconductor.
For the first time in more than 50 years, NASA has ventured back to the Moon. But what’s even more exciting is the photonics technology, including lasers and sensors, that’s involved.
A new silicon photonic chip developed by a team at the University of Pennsylvania could bring AI to the next level with its ability to perform the complex mathematics needed to train and power AI systems using light.
