The combined Journal of Optical Communications and Networking will cover theoretical and practical advances in optical communications networks. Co-editors-in-chief Keren Bergman and Vincent W.S. Chan expect the journal to accelerate optical communication and network research.
The iPoint 3D system uses hand and finger recognition to control devices without physical contact, suitable for use in living rooms, offices, hospitals, and more. This innovative technology enables users to interact with displays and appliances using gestures only.
Researchers at Lehigh University have developed a nanoscale grating structure that can trap and release light waves at multiple locations and different frequencies. The structure, made of graded metal depths, enables the control of light waves on a chip, paving the way for applications in spectroscopy, sensing, and medical imaging.
Researchers at NIST have built a prototype high-speed quantum key distribution (QKD) system that can transmit secure keys in real-time over distances of at least 10 kilometers. The system achieves dramatically lower noise levels than similar systems, enabling theoretically unbreakable encryption and decryption.
The NSF-funded scholarship program will support four cohorts of SIS graduate students in the SAIS track, aiming to address the growing need for IA professionals. Graduates will be qualified to manage large networks and infrastructures, with a focus on diversity and underrepresented groups.
A report by Stevens Institute of Technology suggests that New Jersey focus on growing small and high-potential advanced communications companies within the state. The report recommends attracting new companies from outside the state and offering matching grants and tax incentives to create a vibrant environment for sustained economic g...
Duke physicists create an all-optical switch using laser light and rubidium vapor, which can control stronger light beams with much weaker signals. This breakthrough could improve high-speed telecommunications networks by reducing energy consumption and increasing efficiency.
Internet expansion boosts Africa's health information access, enabling health workers to access information beyond capital cities. Regional urban hubs will be key points of dissemination for health info at district level.
BigBangwidth's Lightpath Accelerator accelerates large file transfers and real-time backups for UCSD researchers on OptIPuter network, enabling faster collaboration and data analysis. The system provides up to 10 Gigabits-per-second connections with minimal latency and high security.
OptIPuter program to deploy DiamondWave all-optical switches, enabling fast and cost-effective network with high-speed data transmission. The platform will support scalable and flexible network infrastructure with minimal signal power loss and latency.
A study by researchers at Ohio State University suggests that a disaster crippling major Internet nodes, such as Los Angeles and New York, could disconnect smaller cities from the entire network. This vulnerability is a concern due to the hub-and-spoke model of the modern Internet, which relies heavily on these central locations.
The field of operations research has a significant impact on the development of medical and telecom innovations, with 24,637 patents referencing optimization techniques between 1996-2001. The study highlights the use of simulation and queue management as critical components in inventions.
Researchers at Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have created plastic LEDs that can efficiently produce near-infrared radiation, a crucial component for high-speed fiber optic communications. The new technology has the potential to cut costs and increase efficiency, paving the way for global networks in homes.
A study found that interactive video visits can reduce costs by $300 per patient by substituting seven in-home visits, while advanced communication technology can save $700 per patient. Patients and nurses responded favorably to the technology, which improved positive outcomes of treatment and reduced hospital re-hospitalizations.
