Huazhong University of Science and Technology
华中科技大学
Huazhong University of Science and Technology (华中科技大学, or "HUST"/"华科") is a Chinese research university that appears frequently in elsewhere's coverage as an talent pipeline for tech entrepreneurs and scientists. Per a 2024 ZhenFund profile, Game Science founder Feng Ji studied biomedical engineering there before becoming lead designer on *Black Myth: Wukong* . The same year, ZhenFund highlighted Butter Elephant CEO Wang Yi, who drew on his experience leading HUST's first CUBA men's basketball team to the national final four to build his breakfast-food startup . More recently, in late 2025, ZhenFund reported that Manus founder Xiao Hong and his early partners all came from HUST, building the AI agent company from a residential apartment without overseas degrees or big-tech executive backgrounds before its acquisition by Meta . The university has also pursued interdisciplinary programs such as a 2021 joint "AI Chemistry Experimental Class" with ChemIntelligence Technology to cultivate dual chemistry-AI talent , and its researchers were among those globally who rushed to replicate the LK-99 superconductor experiments in 2023 .

真格基金·A Deep Dive into 70 Years of Optical Computing: What New Breakthroughs Await Beyond Moore's Law? | Yunqi Science --- In 1965, Gordon Moore, then director of the R&D laboratory at Fairchild Semiconductor, published an article in *Electronics* magazine titled "Cramming More Components onto Integrated Circuits." In it, he made a bold prediction: the number of transistors on an integrated circuit would double approximately every year, with computing power growing exponentially while costs declined. This observation, later refined to a doubling every 18–24 months, became the famous "Moore's Law" that has driven the semiconductor industry for nearly six decades. However, as transistor sizes approach the atomic scale, the physical limits of silicon-based electronic computing are becoming increasingly apparent. Heat dissipation, quantum tunneling effects, and manufacturing costs are all pushing traditional computing toward a wall. In this context, optical computing — using photons instead of electrons as information carriers — has emerged as one of the most promising paths beyond Moore's Law. This article traces 70 years of optical computing development, examining its technical principles, key breakthroughs, and the new frontiers it may open in the post-Moore era. ## The Physical Advantages of Photons Why light?
