: Live cablecast from the Museum of Science, Boston. Eric Mazur and Limin Tong at Harvard University invented a way of making glass into fibers that are only 50 nanometers wide. The fibers can carry light just like regular fiber optic cables, but the light they're carrying is actually bigger than they are.
