For the first time, researchers have used a laser as a radio transmitter and receiver, paving the way for towards ultra-high-speed Wi-Fi and new types of hybrid electronic-photonic devices. You've ...

Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have, for the first time, used a semiconductor laser to send and receive radio signals. The hybrid ...

HERNDON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LGS Innovations, a technology company providing specialized mission-critical communication research and solutions, announced today that it will be supporting the ...

In space exploration, long-distance optical links can now be used to transmit images, films and data from space probes to Earth using light. But in order for the signals to reach all the way and not ...

Tom Nugent likes to call his company's current project a "wireless extension cord." Not a bad analogy for LaserMotive's laser transmitter/receiver system, which recently beamed enough energy to a 17.5 ...

Scientists at the European Space Agency used a laser to communicate with a spacecraft 165 million miles (265 million kilometers) away in deep space for the first time, marking a major step forward in ...

An artist’s conception illustrates how laser beaming stations can transmit power wirelessly to a network of 5G base stations and drones. (Ericsson / PowerLight Illustration) Beaming power wirelessly ...

For decades, computing followed a simple rule: Smaller transistors made chips faster, cheaper, and more capable. As Moore's law slows, a different limit has come into focus. The challenge is no longer ...
