== Other uses == In [[chemistry]], [[molecules]] with fused [[carbon]] rings are often compared to chicken wire β see ''[[chicken wire (chemistry)]]''. In [[photonics]], the chicken-wire effect is a predominant pattern of low transmission lines between multifiber bundles in a [[fiberoptic]] used to couple the intensifier tube to the [[Charge-coupled device|CCD]] sensor. The lines have a pattern similar to that of chicken wire. In machine tool design, chicken wire may be used for safety guarding. Chicken wire is sometimes used to provide grip on surfaces such as wooden steps or decking. Chicken wire commonly used in construction has been found to block or attenuate [[Wi-Fi]], [[Mobile phone|cellular]] and other [[radio]] frequency transmissions by inadvertently creating a [[Faraday cage]].<ref>{{cite news | url = https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB126221116097210861 | title = Culprit in Wi-Fi Failures: Chicken Wire | publisher = [[The Wall Street Journal]] | date = 31 Dec 2009 | page = A6A | author = Geoffrey A.
