Neurophos Raises $7.2M in Seed Round

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Neurophos, a spinout of Duke University and Metacept Inc., an incubator focused on creating metamaterials-based companies, raised $7.2 million in seed round funding to commercialize metamaterial and optical AI inference chips targeting data center applications. Neurophos plans to use its high-speed silicon photonics technology to drive a metasurface in-memory processor capable of fast, efficient, AI compute. The funds, the company said, will be used to facilitate the production of a proprietary metasurface that serves as a tensor core processor, as well as to hire a team of engineers in...Read full article

    quantum
    The term quantum refers to the fundamental unit or discrete amount of a physical quantity involved in interactions at the atomic and subatomic scales. It originates from quantum theory, a branch of physics that emerged in the early 20th century to explain phenomena observed on very small scales, where classical physics fails to provide accurate explanations. In the context of quantum theory, several key concepts are associated with the term quantum: Quantum mechanics: This is the branch of...
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
