Caltech scientists have developed a way to guide light on silicon wafers with low signal loss approaching that of optical ...

I'm trying to create a circuit that will talk to a Motorolla HCS12 mcu. The circuits are going to be reading the voltage and temperature of batteries that are used in a hybrid electric vehicle. The ...

John Carmack has a habit of tossing out ideas that sit right on the edge between practical engineering and pure provocation. His latest musing lands squarely in that zone: what if a long loop of ...

In 1966, physics Nobel Prize winner Charles Kao (the 'father' of fiber optic communications) discovered optical fiber's potential for high-speed data communication. Since then, extensive research ...

Scientists in China claim to have developed a new type of ultra-thin optical fiber that could improve brain imaging and boost high-speed communications. This fiber, which runs on an optical neural ...

Today's audio and visual (AV) technologies necessitate components that can handle higher bandwidths, high-resolution outputs, and faster speeds. Fiber-optic cables are becoming the standard for AV ...
