Professor Gaston Dupouy, head of the laboratory and the microscope's chief operator, explains that he protects bacteria by enclosing them in a tiny air-filled cell that fits on the .
Originally built for ocean submersion, the craft had to be packed with a special foam embedded with air-filled glass bubbles to provide the greater buoyancy needed in less dense .
A typical wine cork contains millions of air-filled cells, but because every cork is different, some winemakers think they cause inconsistent aging of the wine.
Hollow-Core Optical Fiber suits high precision gyroscopes. Employing air-filled core surrounded by glass webbing, Hollow-Core Fiber allows light to propagate through free space rather than solid glass core. Radiation hardened fiber can be bent and coiled to tight bend radius while guiding light. Single-spatial-mode forces light to take only single path, enabling high bandwidth and low noise. Orientation of light waves is fixed in fiber, which is ...
