LOS ANGELES, March 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As AI systems scale from single-rack scale up network systems to multi-rack configurations up to 1,000s of AI processors, copper interconnects have reached their limits in speed, density, and reach. Future scale-up networks require an optical architecture that delivers higher bandwidth density at lower power with maximum processor utilization. DWDM co-packaged optics is gaining traction as the inevitable architecture for scale-up, but adoption requires technical proof and a path to volume. Scintil Photonics, the developer of LEAF Light™, the industry’s first single-chip DWDM laser source for AI infrastructure, today launched the LEAF Light™…

One of Canada’s most famous natural landmarks has fallen victim to a new aquatic invasive species, prompting a new level of restrictions in Banff National Park.

The first Lego Smart Brick sets, based on Star Wars, aren’t quite what my kids and I hoped, and I suspect much of that’s down to programming. But the Smart Bricks may also have some technical limitations out of the gate. The first sets don’t ship with a number of their sensors enabled, including the sound-detecting microphone, the ambient light sensor, fine distance measurement, position, and orientation.“There are more sensors that will be unlocked with future products,” Lego Smart Brick sound designer Elysha Zaide explained on a recent livestream, citing ambient light, position, and orientation as missing out of the…
