AI vision models have improved dramatically over the past decade. Yet these gains have led to neural networks which, though effective, don’t share many characteristics with human vision. For example, ...

For decades, scientists have looked to light as a way to speed up computing. Photonic neural networks—systems that use light instead of electricity to process information—promise faster speeds and ...

Thanks to the neural network, the researchers now suspect, for example, that the black hole at the center of the Milky Way is spinning almost at top speed. Its rotation axis points to Earth.
