Tubular laser beams can create what amount to fiber-optic cables made of thin air, researchers report in a study to appear in Physical Review X. Laser-heated air can efficiently transmit light signals ...
Researchers just teleported quantum data through a busy internet cable. See how this breakthrough could create a secure ...
In a discovery that blurs the line between biology and technology, scientists have found that heart-shaped clams use fiber optic–like structures to channel sunlight through their shells in much the ...
The UK's leading telecoms provider BT has been trialing a new type of optical fiber that could significantly boost the performance of future 5G networks. Called hollow core fiber, the technology ...

Engineers just pushed a single optical fiber past 1 million gigabits per second — fast enough to beam every movie ever made around the world in a minute
A team of researchers at Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) has transmitted 1.7 ...
Fiber-optic networks are coming to more areas every year, and as more utility companies (think internet service providers and cable TV companies) add the feature as an option, more people are ...
Andreas Fichtner strips a cable of its protective sheath, exposing a glass core thinner than a hair — a fragile, 4-kilometer-long fiber that’s about to be fused to another. It’s a fiddly task better ...
The same fiber optic networks that provide internet can simultaneously act as earthquake sensors, as demonstrated in a new study. In California, thousands of miles of fiber optic cables crisscross the ...
