Some of the most revealing signals about human health are carried in fluids that are almost impossible to measure. Tears, ...

Electrical signals control a vast number of activities in the human body, from exchanges of messages between brain neurons and stimulation of the heart muscle to the impulses that enable hands and ...

Silicon-based technology brings fiber-like efficiency to a chip, showing strong potential for quantum computers, biomedical ...

They may look unconventional but the photosensitive fibre structures being developed at MIT promise a new way to measure the amplitude and phase of an optical signal. Rob van den Berg talks to the ...

Researchers have developed a new way to recognize human emotions by combining fiber-based physiological signals with thermal ...

Arden Photonics is pleased to announce the introduction of the FGC range of optical fiber geometry measurement equipment. The FGC range provides high speed automated measurement of fiber end-face ...

Scientists hope to employ networks of “dark fibers,” unused fiber optic cables, in order to sense sound waves moving underground—the signals of earthquakes. Some millions of miles of fiber optic cable ...

Thousands of miles of fiber-optic cables, already in place across California, can shake up the study of earthquakes. New research out of Caltech used a section of telecommunication fiber to sense and ...

Researchers in the US have demonstrated how quantum entanglement could be used to detect optical signals from astronomical ...
