Stem cells involved in replenishing human tissues and blood depend on an enzyme known as telomerase to continue working throughout our lives. When telomerase malfunctions, it can lead to both cancer ...

Researchers at the California Institute of Technology have shown how using fiber optic cables, a pervasive, if unseen, fixture in today’s society, could help better predict when an earthquake might ...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a type of noninvasive imaging test. Ophthalmologists use OCT to create high-resolution, cross-sectional images of the inside of a person’s eye. OCT can help an ...

A 100-year-old equation and a fiber-optic cable off the coast of Svalbard led researchers to discover they could detect swimming whales—even if they were completely silent. The discovery broadens the ...

Communication between cells in living systems is a complex process, but known to involve small structures termed vesicles that transport material within and outside the cell. Nanoscale extracellular ...

Very-long baseline interferometry (VLBI) is a technique in radio astronomy whereby multiple radio telescopes cooperate to bundle their received data and in effect create a much larger singular radio ...

Macquarie University researchers have developed an improved laser system that will help large optical telescopes to gather more accurate data. Large-diameter ground-based optical telescopes now ...

Optical networking is becoming the next bottleneck in the AI infrastructure space, and that's great news for these three companies.

Dec. 11 (UPI) --Loud thunderclaps can cause the ground to shake. The quakes are too subtle for humans to feel, but new research showed fiber optic cables can detect the thunderquakes. A new study, ...

When a high-power ultrashort pulse of light interacts with a material such as a glass optical fibre, a range of highly nonlinear interactions take place that cause complex changes in both the temporal ...
