Typical optical fibres consist of thin, solid glass wires. Tweaking the design could allow them to carry more data over longer distances.Credit: Phillip Hayson/Science Photo Library A new type of hollow optical fibre promises to boost the amount of data that can be carried in each glass strand, and to do so over longer distances. This could help to make …
