When Corning invented the world's first low-loss optical fiber in 1970, few could have predicted how profoundly it would change the way we communicate. That breakthrough helped lay the foundation for global telecommunications networks, the internet, and the connected world we rely on today.
More than 50 years later, fiber is at the center of another major technology shift. As AI drives unprecedented demand for data, the need for high-performance optical connectivity has never been greater. The challenge may look different, but the role of fiber remains the same: moving information where it needs to go, quickly and reliably.
As Corning marks 175 years of innovation, one thread connects its history from optical fiber and telecommunications to today's AI infrastructure: solving
difficult problems through materials science and engineering.
