Aussie Scientists Speeding Up Web

A group of Australian scientists has found a way to make the world’s internet pipes run more than six times faster than today’s best technology. The breakthrough breaks through technical ceilings holding back the hundreds of thousands of fibre-optic cables that ring the earth. The breakthrough was jointly discovered by photonics whizzes at Australian National University and Sydney University who found they could etch circuit-like patterns in glass to switch fibre-optic signals much faster than conventional electronics
