Today marks a new beginning with the launch of our first digital edition of PhotonicsViews. Although the print edition led by Dr. Oliver Dreissigacker has concluded, our commitment to photonics continues.

In this issue, we focus on the Spectronet Collaboration Conference 2025 (p. 8), the rise of photonic and neuromorphic computing (p. 10), and thermal and visual image synchronized efficient analysis through combined image data (p. 13).
