You are watching a long-standing assumption in physics and engineering quietly fall apart. Researchers at Northwestern ...

Quantum teleportation has finally stepped out of pristine laboratory loops and into the messy reality of live internet cables ...

Physicists at the NIST have measured and controlled a superconducting quantum bit (qubit) using light-conducting fiber instead of metal wires. Superconducting circuits are a leading technology for ...

Free-space optical communications (FSOC), which use lasers for data transmission, are a promising approach for achieving high-speed links between aircraft, spacecraft, and ground stations. However, ...

SAN JUAN ISLAND, Wash. — As dawn broke over San Juan Island, a team of scientists stood on the deck of a barge and unspooled over a mile of fiber-optic cable into the frigid waters of the Salish Sea.

SAN DIEGO—A Silicon Valley startup plans to send an experiment in fiber-optics manufacturing to the International Space Station (ISS) next year in a bid to make to the first commercial products that ...

Last week, I introduced the Humboldt dark fiber DAS (Distributed Acoustic Sensing) experiment. This experiment which sends laser pulses along an unused (dark) strand of optic cable, is unusual in many ...

What's behind the IEEE 802.3cz Multi-Gigabit Glass Optical Fiber Automotive Ethernet standard. Optical vs. electrical links in automotive Ethernet. Details behind various compliance and conformance ...

A very exciting experiment is currently underway. If you live in Humboldt County, it is practically beneath your feet. The experiment began on May 18 when a DAS interrogator was hooked up to a section ...

In 1970, three scientists at Corning developed the world’s first low-loss optical fiber, paving the way for today’s high-speed internet services and wireless 5G networks. In 2022, at Corning’s Hickory ...
