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 ...

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 ...

RENO, Nev. (News 4 & Fox 11) — A team of UNR researchers is hoping a new experiment will allow them to create an early-warning earthquake detection system. The scientists and engineers began ...

In a discovery that blurs the line between biology and technology, scientists have found that heart-shaped clams use fiber optic–like structures to channel sunlight through their shells in much the ...

A research team from the University of Electro-Communications in Japan has invented a fiber optic system that transmits both data and power over the same cable. A research team from the University of ...

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 ...
