I'm trying to create a circuit that will talk to a Motorolla HCS12 mcu. The circuits are going to be reading the voltage and temperature of batteries that are used in a hybrid electric vehicle. The ...

In 1966, physics Nobel Prize winner Charles Kao (the 'father' of fiber optic communications) discovered optical fiber's potential for high-speed data communication. Since then, extensive research ...

Caltech scientists have developed a way to guide light on silicon wafers with low signal loss approaching that of optical fiber at visible wavelengths. This accomplishment paves the way for a new ...

Scientists have transmitted quantum and conventional internet data through the same fiber-optic channel, meaning a future quantum internet could theoretically use existing infrastructure. When you ...

For those of you that don't know who The Engineer Guy is, his name is Bill Hammack and he's made it his business to pull back the shroud of mystery from the world of science and engineering. He's done ...

Today's audio and visual (AV) technologies necessitate components that can handle higher bandwidths, high-resolution outputs, and faster speeds. Fiber-optic cables are becoming the standard for AV ...

The thought experiment began with a number. Single-mode fiber optics can now transmit data at 256 terabits per second over 200 kilometers. Based on that capacity, ...
