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

Optical fiber is a strand of glass that’s been “drawn,” or melted down, to about as thin as a human hair. Light passes through this glass carrying data, providing an internet connection.

Fiber optic drones capable of penetrating 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) into enemy lines and striking targets with high-resolution imagery have emerged as key tools in the Russia-Ukraine war. With a ...

Ukraine is deploying fiber-optic drones connected by thin cables, which cannot be jammed by electronic warfare and provide a high-quality image feed. These drones can fly into areas where radio ...

This is technically feasible through two main approaches: equipping the drone with machine vision or using fibre optics for control. Each method has its pros and cons. In the first approach, the drone ...

African governments should give fibre optic cables greater protection from attacks and harmonize policies around layouts to encourage the development of tech infrastructure, a Google executive ...

A new type of drone, operated using fiber-optic cables, appeared on the battlefield in Ukraine last year. This new missile offers decisive advantages over earlier drones and could strengthen Kyiv ...
