All the Light There is to See? 4 x 10⁸⁴ Photons.
The star cluster known as NGC 1866, on the edge of the Large Magellanic Cloud. The observable universe contains at least two trillion galaxies and a trillion trillion (yes, you read it correctly!) stars.
Astronomers have calculated all the light ever produced by all the stars in the cosmos. It’s a lot, but on the cosmic whole, not that much.

Strainoptronics: A new way to control photons
Researchers discovered a new way to engineer optoelectronic devices by stretching a two-dimensional material on top of a silicon photonic platform. Using this method, coined strainoptronics by a team led by George Washington University professor Volker Sorger, the researchers demonstrated for the first time that a 2-D material wrapped around a nanoscale silicon photonic waveguide creates a novel photodetector that can operate with high efficiency at the technology-critical wavelength of 1550 nanometers.
