WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 – Scientists at Clemson University for the first time have been able to make a practical optical fiber with a silicon core, according to a new paper published in the current issue ...

Imagine a world without internet, email, streaming services or social media. Imagine having to write letters or call everyone ...

At present, most optical fibres are made of glass. The perovskite optical fibre made by Dr Su's team consists of just one piece of a perovskite crystal. The optical fibres have a core width as low as ...

Although optical fibers are highly effective at data transmission, they're also relatively brittle. An experimental new type of optical fiber addresses that limitation, by incorporating a core made of ...

VTT developed an optical fibre made of cellulose. Light travels in the optical fibre made of cellulose, because the core is surrounded by cladding material with a lower index of refraction. Light is ...

Due to their very high efficiency in transporting electric charges from light, perovskites are known as the next generation material for solar panels and LED displays. A team led by Dr. Lei Su at ...
