Efficient as fiber optic cables are at transmitting data in the form of light pulses, they do need to be physically supported, and they can only handle a finite amount of power. Still, what's the ...

The light signal arrives through a waveguide (left), in the 2 micrometer wide graphene sheet, electrical current is generated. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of ...

A team of researchers has succeeded in developing a novel optical connection between semiconductor chips. "Photonic wire bonding" reaches data transmission rates in the range of several terabits per ...
