Anyone has any idea of how long such a structure will stay in thin air ? Because to me it seems like a proof of concept but it wouldn't be viable : you need to keep the "fiber" open long enough to transmit data.
Since it's thin air, the soundwave created at the beginning will just continue and the effect would dissipate.
- mbreese 12y agoThe article mentioned microseconds... so not long, but possibly long enough, if you could keep the pulses going and not cancel each other out, but it sounds like this technique still has a long way to go. And carrying data may not be the ultimate end-point of this particular technique.
