Fiber optic cables play a key role in high-speed network expansion. As wireless and cellular network complexity increases, fiber networks supporting elevated bandwidth, latency and data transmission ...

The next internet revolution may come through a hollow strand of glass. Instead of the solid glass cores that dominate today’s internet cables, researchers at the University of Southampton have ...

Carbon fibers, due to their superior strength and lightness, are popular in aerospace engineering applications. While much effort goes into improving the strength of carbon fiber composites, such as ...

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. --Researchers say a new discovery on a U.S. Army project for optoelectronic devices could help make optical fiber communications more energy efficient. The University of ...

Researchers at two Australia universities have collaborated to develop a way to 3-D print a preform that can be drawn into silica glass optical fibers, for new types of telecommunications networks and ...

Communication with fiber-optics has many advantages over electrical or “wire”-based interfaces. Unfortunately, fiber has often been considered an expensive or exotic solution, limited to high-end ...

The one word that usually comes to mind when the topic of fiber-optic cable comes up is “speed”—the kind of blinding speed needed in high-performance computing for within-box processing as well as ...
