Infrared Lasers Could Replace Fiber Optic Cables in Data Centers
Scientists may have created the technology that will make fiber optic cable a thing of the past.
Facebook and Microsoft to Build High-Capacity Transatlantic Cable
In the past, telecommunications companies have built the infrastructure to support the Internet, but now edge providers (the businesses that provide online content and services) are taking a direct approach. Microsoft and Facebook just announced that they are partnering to build a giant cable that will be capable of moving 160 terabits per second.
New Method Could Double the Capabilities of Fiber Optics
Electrical engineers at the University of California, San Diego have found a way to double the capacity of the fiber optic cables that support the internet, cable, wireless, and landline networks. Their discove... Read More...
New Method Predicts Coiling Patterns of Fiber-Optic Cables
A team of engineers at MIT collaborated with Columbia University computer scientists to develop a simulation method to predict how cables coil and tangle when positioned on a hard surface. The team develope... Read More...
Tiny Nano-Optical Cables Could Replace Computer Chip Copper Wiring
University of Alberta engineers have designed nano-optical cables that are ten times smaller than current fiber optic cables. These new nano-optical cables are small enough to replace copper wiring that is curr... Read More...
