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

Teleportation has quietly shifted from pure fantasy to a working laboratory tool, and the latest experiments are starting to ...

To test the proposed architecture, the team characterized a commercialy available FB at the standard FSOC wavelength of 1550 nm. They measured different types of losses and distortion, simulated a ...

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 ...

Imagine a computer that does not rely only on electronics but uses light to perform tasks faster and more efficiently. A collaboration between two research teams from Tampere University in Finland and ...

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 ...

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 ...
