An optic fiber sensing system developed by researchers in China and Canada can peer inside supercapacitors and batteries to observe their state of charge. Renewable energy sources are naturally ...

(Nanowerk News) The total amount of data generated worldwide is expected to reach 175 ZB (Zettabytes; 1 ZB equals 1 billion Terabytes) by 2025. If 175 ZB were stored on Blu-ray disks, the disk stack ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) In a world driven by data, the relentless growth of digital information is pushing existing storage technologies to their limits. Every day, vast amounts of data are generated, ...

Delivering “BLOBs” (Binary Large Objects) such as MRI data carries high-bandwidth requirements. This, plus the ‘networked’ nature of healthcare (campus-based and metro networks) often means that ...

We could soon store 700 Terabytes on a 12-centimeter optical disk which would be equal to storing 28,000 Blu-ray disks. A separate advance with in data encoding could triple storage to 2.1 Petabytes ...

Optical data transmission has become a popular solution for data transmission today. We often see digital audio interfaces used to transmit digital audio signals in DVD players, set-top boxes, ...

3D surface profilers are in wide use today across many industries due to their ability to quickly deliver critical topographic data, and optical profilometers provide non-contact measurements of step ...

Taiwan’s opto-electronics industry produced NT$155.65 billion worth of goods in the first quarter of 2002 on the back of brisk demand for flat display panels and optical storage devices, according to ...
