[Garrett] over at MaceTech was approached by a friend who needed a light-up ... sound-responsive LED mohawk. He had all sorts of LEDs and other bits on hand, but finding the fiber optics that ...

there’s an Arduino and some RGB LED strips involved. But the key to this build is in the 16 pieces of side-glow plastic fiber optic tubing. Side-glow is designed to let light escape along the ...

Fiber optic transmitters convert electrical signals into optical signals and then inject these optical signals into light-conducting cable. They use light emitting diodes (LED) or laser diodes as ...

which is coupled with a connector and transmitted through a fiber optic cable. The light from the end of the cable is coupled to a receiver, where a detector converts the light back into an electrical ...

These aragonite crystals are arranged in micron-sized tubes that function like fiber-optic cables, guiding light with exceptional precision, while filtering out harmful ultraviolet radiation that ...

A new study reveals that clams called heart cockles have unique structures in their shells that act like fiber optic cables to convey specific wavelengths of light into the bivalves' tissues.
