💡 Smarter photonic neural networks 🎯 A research collaboration led by the groups of Rachel Grange at D-PHYS, ETH Zürich and of Sylvain Gigan at the Laboratoire Kastler Brossel - LKB showed that photonic neural networks get better at some machine learning tasks thanks to the optical nonlinearity introduced by a disordered material made of lithium niobate nanocrystals.

👀 Probing universality 🔦 So far, theoretical investigations of universality and critical scaling have been mostly limited to homogeneous systems. Nicolò Defenu and his colleagues believe that a deeper understanding of universality in complex physical systems would have implications far beyond physics. In a recent study, they simulated a self-avoiding random walk on a prototypical non-homogeneous system with integer and non-integer dimensions and found evidence of universal scaling.
