Office workers toiling under eye-tiring fluorescent bulbs have hope for a brighter day. A company called Sunlight Direct is developing a hybrid solar lighting system that distributes daylight into ...

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 ...

Scientists have turned a long-standing sci‑fi idea into working hardware, using pure light to move data wirelessly through the air instead of relying on radio waves or copper traces. The result is a ...

Fiber-optic services are becoming more popular, and networks are expanding to cover more areas for faster data transfer speeds. Fiber-optic data transfer differs from traditional methods like ...

Researchers at Michigan Tech have mapped a noise-reducing magneto-optical response that occurs in fiber-optic communications, opening the door for new materials technologies. Optical signals produced ...
