Everyone gets annoyed when they have to wait for what it seems like dozens of endless seconds until a webpage loads. This might actually no longer be a problem in the near future. Australian researchers from the University of Sydney have found a rather simple method to pump up the speed of the Internet by almost 100 ... |

The terahertz frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum are just now beginning to be explored by humans. Terahertz devices have already been developed and used to create security scanners, able to view through solid materials much in the same way X-rays do; however, US researchers believe they would have better app... |

A whole lot of small start-ups claimed lately that they have managed to achieve dazzling data transfer rates over distances. However, their experiments have been conducted in extremely carefully controlled environments in order to demonstrate the concept itself. In fact, the fully-functional technology is slated for ... |

Optical fibers have usage in a broad range of applications that involve the transmission and processing of light signals, starting with telecommunications, computing, all the way to remote sensing and medical devices. But optical fibers are not perfect, at least not in the way we would like them to be. On top of the ... |

More and more research groups are walking on the optoelectronics pathway in search of faster, cheaper and more efficient chips. The transistor is already close to its end after it has been serving the IT cause for more than 60 years now, and needs a fast replacement to save the semiconductor industry from collapse.O... |

This discovery could be a step forward into constructing what scientists call a quantum computer. Unlike classical computers that use bits to store and process information, the future generation of computers is supposed to use quantum mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement to process data. The i... |

Not long after IBM announced a new optical chip capable of 160GB per second transfer rates, Alcatel-Lucent comes into the scene with a new world record of 25.6 Terabits per second (Tb/s), crushing the previous record of 14 Tb/s, established in September 2006. The data was transmitted over a single fiber strand, using... |
