Photonic Processing Unit Supports Light Speed Machine Learning
Substituting a photonic tensor core for existing digital processors such as GPUs, a pair of engineers from George Washington University (GWU) has introduced a new technique for performing high-level neural network computations. In the approach, light energy replaces electricity, processing optical data feeds at a performance rate two to three orders higher than with an electrical tensor processing unit (TPU).

Light Helps Pump Life into Heart Muscle
Although it can be difficult to get heart muscle cells to propagate in large numbers, a team of researchers at the University of Minnesota has found a way to use 3D printing and light-induced excitation to create a living heart pump that has broad implications in medicine.

.: Upcoming Webinars

An Oblique Plane Light-Sheet Microscope with 200-nm-Scale Resolution
In this webinar, UT Southwestern professor Kevin Dean will describe an oblique plane microscope that uses a newly developed glass-tipped objective and an optimized optical train to maximize the speed, field of view, and resolution of the overall imaging system. He will characterize the performance of this microscope, and then demonstrate biological imaging of clathrin-mediated endocytosis, cell migration, natural killer cell induced cytotoxicity, and more. This webinar is sponsored by Applied Scientific Instrumentation; Andor Technology, part of the Oxford Instruments Group; TOPTICA Photonics; and Coherent Inc.
