In August, Vice President Joe Biden, U.S. Rep. Louise Slaughter and Gov. Andrew Cuomo designated Rochester as headquarters for a $650 million integrated photonics startup, AIM Photonics. The intent of the institute is to design and build computer chips that use light (photons), rather than electronics (electrons), wherever possible. The technology has broad transformational potential across all industries and positions our state and city as potential big winners in this...Continue Reading
A shout out (acknowledgement) to primary school teacher Diane Eagles, at Rochester City School District School #46, whose passion for geology and photonics is igniting interest in science in her students and their parents! Thank you, Diane!Continue Reading
