A new speed record for optical fibres
It seems that universities and research centres are competing to win the record of the fastest optical fibre connection in the world. The ultrafast target is not an end in itself, representing especially…
Nanolaser on silicon
The scientific community and semiconductor manufacturers believe that a rise of computers’ processing performances is now possible only exploiting the light, optical fibres and lasers. Since the beginning of the microelectronics era, 50…
New compact single-mode fibres for a new cable design
Single-mode optical fibres derive their name from the fact that they transmit a single light beam, or better, the light travels directly along the fibre, perpendicular to the section, and they are ideal…
The wire in micro-EDM
With wire EDM machines we can obtain very high-precision machining, even if with not high execution speeds if compared with other mechanical machine tools’. Research focuses then on particular automations allowing independent performances…
Fire-resistant fasteners + fixings from Partex Marking Systems
Partex Marking Systems UK Ltd has launched a range of fire-resistant fixings. Partex’s range of fire-resistant fixings included galvanised steel mini-trunking cable retaining clips, stainless steel cable tie mounts, and spacer-bar saddles. The…
Panasonic to push high-speed transmission
Panasonic Corporation has developed single cable and connector solution that enable the transmission of uncompressed full-spec 8K video signals*1. Currently, to transmit video signal via connector-equipped cables from an 8K signal source or…
Researchers create a technology that makes metal wires on solar cells nearly invisible to light
Researchers in the US have figured out how to make solar cells absorb significantly more sunlight than they previously could by making the tiny wires that lie across the top of solar cells…
