Conventional connectors and sliprings have limitations in some industrial applications. A contactless data and power transmission technology called NearFi can overcome these, allowing data at up to ...

Researchers have used optical silicon nitride micro-resonators on a photonic chip that can easily be integrated into compact communication systems. Their demonstration allows a transmission of data ...

Everyone knows that the world is analog in nature, yet we insist on dealing with analog signals by digital means. Analog sensor outputs are quickly converted to digital form to improve noise immunity ...

A single light source has transmitted a record-breaking 1.8 petabits of data per second, say researchers in Denmark and Sweden. The achievement could aid the development of highly energy-efficient ...

Single-wire data transmission is useful when operating a multitude of disperse components if high speed isn’t a requirement, but there’s a need for flexibility. The approach reduces the number of ...

Using the same technology that allows high-frequency signals to travel on regular phone lines, researchers tested sending extremely high-frequency, 200 GHz signals through a pair of copper wires. The ...

Researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have set a new record for optical data transmission. The team exploits optical solitons ...

Contactless couplers, such as Phoenix Contact's protocol-independent NearFi couplers, transmit power and real-time Ethernet data wirelessly, eliminating connector wear and maintenance costs in ...

Lasers have been one of the essential technologies used in industries. It is realized that light outperforms radio in terms of speed and density. It has been used for communications whether in ...
