Hidden inside every organ, microscopic fibers form a scaffolding that quietly shapes how we move, think, and heal. For the ...

In Sept, 2025, Microsoft Azure announced it is scaling its hollow core fiber (HCF) production by outsourcing manufacturing to ...

Data travels across the cloud mainly as light via optical fibers made from solid glass. But that light—and thus that data—travels faster through air. “With hollow core fiber, the glass [has] an air ...

A team of Microsoft-backed researchers has unveiled a new type of hollow core optical fiber that promises unprecedented speed and lower latency for the internet. This breakthrough was published this ...

Despite the modern world relying heavily on digital optical communication, there has not been a significant improvement in the minimum attenuation—a measure of the loss of optical power per kilometer ...

What just happened? A Microsoft-backed research team has set a new benchmark for optical fiber performance, developing a hollow-core cable that posts the lowest optical loss ever recorded in the ...

DARPA has succeeded in creating hollow-core photonic-bandgap optical fiber, which allows light to travel along its length at around 99.7% the speed of light, or a 30% improvement over conventional ...
