Engineers have set a new speed record for data transmission through a standard diameter optical fiber. By beaming 55 “modes” of signals down a single-core optical fiber, the team was able to transmit ...

Researchers have set a new world record for internet speed that is 4.5 million times faster than the average broadband. An international team that included scientists from Aston University in ...

Currently, fiber optics are the fastest and most reliable medium for internet connectivity, providing consumers with data transfer speeds of up to 2 Gbps (gigabits per second). However, these transfer ...

Japanese researchers have set a new data transmission speed record, sending 1.02 petabits of data per second over fiber over a distance of 51.7 km. (32 miles). The feat doubles the most recent record, ...

Pulsed lasers repeatedly emit light for a short period of time as if blinking. They have the advantage of focusing more energy than a continuous wave laser, whose intensity is kept unchanged over time ...

Although high-speed wireless technologies like Wifi 6E and 5G dominate news headlines, analog, and optical cables are still the backbone of the internet, and for good reason. Researchers in Japan just ...

Forward-looking: The US space agency will soon send a new, experimental laser communication technology into space that is expected to show potential data transmission rates that are 10 to 100 times ...

In an era where rapid communication and data exchange define technological progress, a team of Japanese researchers has shattered existing boundaries by setting a new world record for internet speed.

The surge in generative AI has intensified demand for AI servers and chips, shifting the focus from pure computational power to data transmission speed. This transition has accelerated the adoption of ...
