The system could improve image quality in video streaming or help autonomous vehicles identify road hazards in real-time.

“Lightning” system connects photons to the electronic components of computers using a novel abstraction, creating the first photonic computing prototype to serve real-time machine-learning inference requests.

The new approach could lead to intranasal vaccines for Covid-19 and other respiratory diseases.

The system could be used for battery-free underwater communication across kilometer-scale distances, to aid monitoring of climate and coastal change.
