Collaborate Disseminate
A team of international researchers say they’ve set a new world speed record for an industrial standard optical fiber that’s as thick as a human hair and contains a groundbreaking 19 cores.Continue ReadingCategory: Telecommunications, TechnologyTags: F… Continue reading Groundbreaking optical fiber blazes new data transmission speed record
Global warming has caused many large whales to move from warmer waters, increasing the risk of being struck by ships. Norwegian researchers have converted existing fiber-optic cables into hydrophones, enabling them to track Arctic fin whales in real ti… Continue reading Tracking whales with existing fiber-optic cables may reduce ship strikes
It’s a rare person who can pick up a cheap laser pointer and not wield it like a lightsaber or a phaser, complete with sound effects. There’s just something about …read more Continue reading Properly Pipe Laser Light Around with Homebrew Fiber Couplings
GPS has been a crucial technology for decades, but it does have its limitations, particularly in urban areas where signals can get noisy. Now, engineers in the Netherlands have developed “SuperGPS” – a hybrid positioning system that combines wireless a… Continue reading “SuperGPS” ditches satellites for radio towers for cm-scale tracking
Engineers have set a new speed record for data transmission through a standard diameter optical fiber. By beaming 55 “modes” of signals down a single-core optical fiber, the team was able to transmit at a data rate of 1.53 petabits per second (Pbit/s)…. Continue reading Speed record shattered for data transmission over standard optical fiber
The speed record for data transmission using a single light source and optical chip has been shattered once again. Engineers have transmitted data at a blistering rate of 1.84 petabits per second (Pbit/s), almost twice the global internet traffic per second.

Researchers in Germany have demonstrated quantum entanglement of two atoms separated by 33 km (20.5 miles) of fiber optics. This is a record distance for this kind of communication and marks a breakthrough towards a fast and secure quantum internet.Con… Continue reading Record-setting quantum entanglement connects two atoms across 20 miles
How fast is your Internet connection? The days of 56K modems are — thankfully — long gone for most of us. But before you get too smug with your gigabit …read more Continue reading Sorry, Your Internet Connection is Slow
