It's used in all kinds of products, including adhesives, fibre optics, sealants, cling film, paper, fuel, explosives, sporting equipment, roofing, bottle stoppers, and tires.

它各种产品中都被使用包括粘合剂、纤、密封剂食品薄膜、纸张、燃料、炸药运动器械、屋顶、瓶塞以及轮胎等。

And laser beams travel faster in a vacuum than they do through fibre optic cables, so you might even get slightly faster networking between the computers in space.

而且激真空中传播比通过纤电缆更快，因此太空中的计算机之间的速度可能会微快一点。

Fibre optics and broadband have created superfast internet speeds and an interconnected online world, where physical distances between people are no longer a barrier to communication - a situation expressed in the phrase, the global village.

纤和宽带创造了超高速的速和一个相互连接起来的界， 界中，人与人之间的物理距离不再是沟通的障碍——这种情况 “地球村”这个短语中得到体现。

The message-carrying photons will enter a single fibre optic strand, with an opening a mere 10 microns across, far smaller than the 100 microns of a photodiode, of which more than one may, in any case, be needed.

承载信息的子将进入一根纤，其开口仅有10微米宽，远小于100微米的电二极管，而且任何情况下可能需要多个电二极管。

Embryonyx hopes to pull off this trick using a mirror, with a complex curved surface to redirect photons into a device the size of an iPhone that focuses the light and shoots it into the fibre optic strand.

Embryonyx 希望使用镜子来实现这一技巧，镜子具有复杂的曲面， 可将子重定向到 iPhone 大小的设备中， 该设备会聚焦线并将其发射到纤中。
