Due to the increasing threat of space debris in low Earth orbit around the Earth, space agencies around the world are becoming increasingly concerned about this. According to a new study funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), it may be possible to send space debris that may be at risk of colliding with orbiting spacecraft to safer orbits through a laser network deploye...

The new architecture based on metamaterials provides a promising platform for constructing large-scale production and reprogrammable solutions that can perform computational tasks using light.The idea of simulating computers - a device that uses continuous variables instead of zero sum ones - may evoke outdated machinery, from mechanical watches to bomb sight devices used in World War II. But emer...
