To: "dave () farber net" <dave () farber net> FYI, from today's WSJ: Scientists Find Ocean Sponge With Fiber-Optic Qualities Associated Press 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. The natural glass fibers also are much more flexible than manufactured fiber-optic cable that can crack if bent too far. Chris Savage || Cole, Raywid & Braverman, LLP 1919 Penn.
