Despite the modern world relying heavily on digital optical communication, there has not been a significant improvement in the minimum attenuation—a measure of the loss of optical power per kilometer ...

Researchers from the University of Southampton in the U.K. have teamed up with fiber engineers from Microsoft Azure to reduce attenuation in optical cables, where weakened signal power leads to data ...

One of the buzziest technologies in modern science may be running right under your feet. Fiber optic cables bring you the internet as data-rich pulses of light, but they also detect signals from the ...

This insatiable appetite has spurred a global race among researchers to develop hollow-core fiber —because light travels faster through air than glass. Now, researchers in England have created a new ...

Tiny strands of glass no wider than a human hair have powerful telecommunications capabilities. Several portions of northwestern and central Illinois learned the chaos that can be caused when a chain ...

To say that generative AI is a game-changer is an understatement. It’s captured the public’s imagination and sparked excitement like no other tech development since the smartphone. But with companies ...
