🔆 What's faster than light speed? Well, it's still light speed, but in terms of an optical fibre, UK researchers say transmitting the light through a hollow core fibre would be able to speed up data transmissions by 45%, and let it travel further without needing a little boost

QUESTION: the Drone War in Ukraine suggests that fibre-optic tech is now dirt cheap; so where can I get some to run a 50m link around my garden?
They appear to be running a full video and control feed over (approximately) a piece of fishing monofilament, so I’m presuming the control tech is no longer a matter of $5,000 GBICs?
About 24 hours later, I was able to start rinsing them off and was surprised to see that the yellowed items were still yellow.
After a lot of research I was able to dig up the materials the lamp is made from, and learned that the #diffuser (#fibres / #fibers ) are acrylic, not glass.
This led me to some far more useful information, as searching for #FibreOptics tends to give a lot of info about specialised #data cabling, not #decor.

Some bivalves have evolved photosynthetic symbioses. Here, the authors show that heart cockles transmit light through their upper shell to internal photosynthetic symbionts, using mineral fiber optic cables to maximize light transmission.

Crews will be deploying a new fiber-to-the-premises network in the remote Aleutian community ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Construction is underway in Larsen Bay for GCI’s Aleutians Fiber Project! With surveys complete and permits, materials and crews in place, the project team is preparing the community for the arrival of fiber-optic connectivity later this year. The Aleutians […]
