Fiber optic cables play a key role in high-speed network expansion. As wireless and cellular network complexity increases, fiber networks supporting elevated bandwidth, latency and data transmission ...

The DOE-funded Carbon Fiber Design Project has developed, and aims to scale up, fibers with noncircular geometry optimized to meet wind industry performance.

Carbon fibers, due to their superior strength and lightness, are popular in aerospace engineering applications. While much effort goes into improving the strength of carbon fiber composites, such as ...

The next internet revolution may come through a hollow strand of glass. Instead of the solid glass cores that dominate today’s internet cables, researchers at the University of Southampton have ...

Communication with fiber-optics has many advantages over electrical or “wire”-based interfaces. Unfortunately, fiber has often been considered an expensive or exotic solution, limited to high-end ...
