“Our optical generative models can synthesize countless images with almost no computing power, offering a scalable and energy-efficient alternative to digital AI models,” lead author Shiqi Chen told ...

In a major leap for artificial intelligence (AI) and photonics, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles ...

Using a newly developed model, astrophysicists present a new theory to explain fast blue optical transients, a new class of transients that has boggled researchers since their discovery in 2018. In ...

A longstanding goal in physics has been to link general relativity with quantum theory and so unify the forces of nature. Theories of quantum gravity, however, are plagued by the weak theoretical ...

"Simultaneous contrast illusions" rely on altering the backgrounds of images to change how we perceive the colors and brightness of objects within them. Now, a computer model may have revealed exactly ...

The field of materials science has witnessed significant strides in elucidating how the arrangement of electrons within solids dictates their optical behaviour and other functional properties. By ...
