## Resource

In this latest episode of Brains and Machines , Dr. Patty Stabile of the Eindhoven University of Technology chats with us about her optical neural networks with ultra-low-latency processing, and the semiconductor optical amplifiers that make them possible. Discussion follows with Dr. Giulia D’Angelo from the Czech Technical University in Prague and Professor Ralph Etienne-Cummings of Johns Hopkins University.
