The Age of Light
Wednesday, February 11, 2026
Artificial intelligence is usually discussed as software. Faster models. Bigger datasets. Smarter algorithms. But what if the real shift is not in the code — but in the physics?
Inside the Lab
Wednesday, February 4, 2026
The global AI race is often portrayed as a battle of algorithms and data. But as models reach unprecedented scales, the real bottleneck has moved from the cloud to the cleanroom. To understand the future of intelligence, we must look at the atoms and photons that make it possible.
The Invisible Bottleneck
Wednesday, February 4, 2026
In 2026, the AI revolution is no longer confined to software—it’s being written in silicon and light. From the thermal walls of dense datacenters to photonic interconnects that defy electron limits, the battle for the intelligent edge is as much about hardware mastery as algorithmic brilliance. Huawei, Ericsson and Nokia are racing to deploy AI-driven, sovereign networks, while the US–China–Europe tech race shapes strategy, control, and innovation at the very edge of connectivity.
Beyond Fiber

As data demand explodes, traditional fiber reaches its limits. Project Taara shows how wireless photonics can deliver high-speed connectivity without digging, unlocking speed, efficiency and strategic flexibility for enterprises and public institutions alike.
The Age of Light II
Sunday, February 1, 2026
Artificial intelligence is reaching a physical limit: moving data consumes more energy than computing it. The Age of Light explores how photonics and neuromorphic architectures enable human-centered, energy-efficient intelligence, embedding AI directly in hardware at the edge of reality.
The Architects of Intelligence
Saturday, January 31, 2026
The global race for artificial intelligence is often framed as a competition of scale: larger models, more parameters, faster GPUs. Yet beneath this visible layer lies a quieter crisis. As AI systems grow, the energy required to move data between chips, racks and clusters is beginning to exceed the energy needed for computation itself.
The Age of Light
Saturday, January 31, 2026
The global conversation about artificial intelligence remains dominated by software. New models. Larger parameters. Faster inference. More autonomous systems. Investors track benchmarks, governments debate regulation and boardrooms compete over who will deploy intelligence first.
Infineon and Ion Traps
Thursday, January 8, 2026
Quantum computing is often presented as a race between exotic physics concepts and dazzling promises of exponential speed-ups. In practice, however, the decisive question is far more down to earth: which technologies can actually be engineered, manufactured and maintained at scale?
The EU Chips Act
Sunday, December 28, 2025
Semiconductors have become the fault line of modern geopolitics. The United States and China are investing aggressively in domestic chip production, treating semiconductors not as consumer goods but as strategic infrastructure. Europe, by contrast, spent decades optimising research while outsourcing large-scale manufacturing — until recent crises exposed how fragile that model had become.
Who Controls Light Controls the Future
Saturday, December 20, 2025
Photonics is not a buzzword. It is the technology that carries the internet across oceans, enables chips to be etched at atomic scale and forms the foundation of future quantum systems. From fibre-optic communications to advanced manufacturing, photonics has become a critical enabler of modern societies. By 2030, the global photonics market is expected to exceed one trillion dollars. Yet at the heart of this rapidly expanding field lies a strategic chokepoint: extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography.
