The last 12 months have seen the deployment of equipment at ever-faster data rates as 10 GbE and QDR Infinband have become mainstream technologies in a large data center and other high-speed ...

Carbon nanotube-based fibers have greater capacity to carry electrical current than copper cables of the same mass, scientists show. On a pound-per-pound basis, carbon nanotube-based fibers invented ...

Cross-section of a high-temperature superconducting cable design invented at NIST. In the center are copper wires bundled with nylon and plastic insulation. The outer rings are a series of ...

Large currents flowing in a length cable can be measured using the voltage drop along the cable. It eliminates the need for a bulky shunt or expensive magnetic measurement method. Accuracy is limited ...

Carbon nanotube-based fibres invented at Rice University have greater capacity to carry electrical current than copper cables of the same mass, according to new research. While individual nanotubes ...

Fibre-optic cable is being laid across the UK at great expense to speed up people’s internet connections, but researchers claim that the copper telephone wire already in use across the country can ...
