Patients who remain in bed for long periods of time may develop pressure sores, which can in turn become potentially life-threatening chronic skin ulcers. A new sensor could help keep that from ...
In a discovery that blurs the line between biology and technology, scientists have found that heart-shaped clams use fiber optic–like structures to channel sunlight through their shells in much the ...
It’s a rare person who can pick up a cheap laser pointer and not wield it like a lightsaber or a phaser, complete with sound effects. There’s just something about the “pew-pew” factor that makes ...
Why not take the same strands of light that already power the world’s fiber-optic cables and let them travel freely through ...
Dozens of companies are taking advantage of cheap fiber and equipment costs to build their own high-speed campus networks, instead of buying services from carriers. Marguerite Reardon started as a ...
