The researchers analyzed the fiber’s ampacity with a custom rig that allowed them to test it alongside metal cables of the same diameter. The cables were tested while they were suspended in the open air, in a vacuum and in nitrogen or argon environments. Electric cables heat up because of resistance. —Junichiro Kono.
