They distribute data and can separate cells from one other. But can they adequately light a room? Photos: Fiber optics lighting the way Michael Kanellos is editor at large at CNET News.com, where he ...
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 the “pew-pew” factor that makes ...
Dozens of companies are taking advantage of cheap fiber and equipment costs to build their own high-speed campus networks, instead of buying services from carriers. Marguerite Reardon started as a ...
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, ...
