Fiber optic technology relies on transmitting light along thin, flexible fibers of glass or plastic. These fibers essentially ...

The machine can process up to 100 percent glass fiber material, Manfred Dobersberger, managing director of Ansfelden, Austria-based Pure Loop, told Sustainable Plastics, a sister publication of ...

Polling shows environmental issues are far from the top of voters’ minds this year, and the global plastics crisis rarely gets a mention—unless it’s to defend plastic straws. Nevertheless ...

For the first time, an international cadre of electrical engineers has developed a new method for photonic in-memory computing that could make optical computing a reality in the near future.

Given its dominance in the launch market and Starlink’s explosive growth in satellite communications, what impact will SpaceX have on the optical terminal business? At the Satellite Innovation ...
