http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/08/21/natural.fiberoptics.ap/index.htmlScientists: Ocean sponge bests man-made fiber optics
Scientists have found that the optical fibers of the sponge Euplectella, left, are similar to, and perhaps more advanced, than today's state-of-the-art fiber optics.
(AP) -- Scientists say they have identified an ocean sponge living in the darkness of the deep sea that grows thin glass fibers capable of transmitting light better than industrial fiber optic cables used for telecommunication.
Interesting! We've found something that works better than our fast internet connection!
