Photonic neuromorphic computing to process data in a fast and energy efficient way

Scientists have given a fascinating new insight into the next steps to develop fast, energy-efficient, future computing systems that use light instead of electrons to process and store information – incorporating hardware inspired directly by the functioning of the human brain. A team of scientists, including Professor C. David Wright from the University of Exeter, Read more about Photonic neuromorphic computing to process data in a fast and energy efficient way[…]

How and where drones can be used to deliver useful information

Drones are a powerful tool for conservation – but they should only be used after careful consideration and planning, according to a new report. The report, commissioned by the global conservation organisation WWF, outlines “best practices” for using drones effectively and safely, while minimising impacts on wildlife. This is the 5th issue in a series Read more about How and where drones can be used to deliver useful information[…]
