Rehovot, Israel, Nov. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CollPlant Biotechnologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: CLGN) today announced that its subsidiary LightSolver Ltd. (“LightSolver”), a pioneer of pure photonic computing and developer of the Laser Processing Unit (LPU)™, will unveil the LPU capabilities in a first public demonstration at SC26, the International Conference for High Performance Computing, taking place November 15-20, 2026 in Chicago. The demonstration will be presented at LightSolver’s booth #5102 during the exhibition, November 16-19.
The LPU is a photonic computer designed to process and solve mathematical problems using light itself, through interacting laser beams, rather than conventional electronic computation. In this first public demonstration of an all-optical computer, LightSolver will showcase live how the LPU solves real mathematical and computational problems – including systems of linear equations, differential equations, and complex optimization problems – using only interacting light.
