Tubular laser beams can create what amount to fiber-optic cables made of thin air, researchers report in a study to appear in Physical Review X. Laser-heated air can efficiently transmit light signals ...

Specifics of non-electronic issues with waveguides. How nylon can be used to make waveguides via additive manufacturing. The virtues of a unique coating that metallizes the nylon waveguide for use.

Modern satellites rely on electromagnetic waveguides—hollow structures that carry high-power signals between components such ...

Traditional wired systems have their own limitations in industrial settings. For example, conductor bars are restricted to analog signals, festoons and cable reels are limited to 330 feet for Ethernet ...
