This Weekend, The Ionosphere Becomes a Canvas

12 Αυγούστου 2023 by paulkokos

High above our heads, the ionosphere haloes the world with a haze of charged particles. The ionosphere was once critical to global telecommunications, because shortwave radio signals reflect off it, and so they can bounce all around the planet. Fiber optic and satellite communications have largely displaced shortwave radio. But…

3D Haptic Display Melds Touch With Tech

What started out as trying to create soft, simulated organs for medical devices and surgical robots, has given us, instead, a touch-sensitive, shape-morphing 3D display. This multifunctional device, developed by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder and Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, is about as big as a…

TV broadcasters may have a new way to reach the cordless generation: 5G. In July, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted a six-month experimental license to a low-power television network in Massachusetts to transmit video and other data one-way over a UHF portion (300 megahertz to 3 gigahertz) of the…

EU Late to the Quantum Party, Report Warns

Companies and governments need to act quickly to develop a comprehensive strategy for quantum readiness, says a new report by the European Policy Center, a think tank for European Union affairs. Given the current pace of quantum computing research, a quantum computer capable of breaking modern cryptography is estimated to…

Wi-Fi Boosts New, Ultrafast Li-Fi Standards

5 Αυγούστου 2023 by paulkokos

paulkokos

Just as Wi-Fi uses radio signals to encode information, Li-Fi relies on light for incredibly fast data rates. Now a new IEEE standard for Li-Fi based off the IEEE standard for Wi-Fi (802.11) may help it expand across the globe as Wi-Fi has, with the new devices complementing instead of…

HADAR Brings Depth and Texture to "Ghostly" Heat Images

3 Αυγούστου 2023 by paulkokos

paulkokos

If autonomous vehicles and robots are ever going to be safe and efficient, they need to perceive their surroundings. They also need to be able to predict the behavior of the stuff around them—whether that’s other robots, vehicles, or even people—and plan their paths and make decisions accordingly. In other…

Graphene Gives 3D Graphite Twisted Powers

3 Αυγούστου 2023 by paulkokos

paulkokos

Stacking two slightly askew sheets of graphene on top of each other has in recent years led to phenomenal physics—including tunable superconductivity, quantum memory, and strange new states of matter involving “puddled” clumps of electrons. The curious behavior of these systems emerge with a “twist” angle between the hexagonal pattern…

New Form of Silicon Targets Quantum Computing

2 Αυγούστου 2023 by paulkokos

paulkokos

Some of the most promising quantum computers have to date involved exotic materials and systems—including superconducting materials cooled to near-absolute-zero and floating ions and atoms held in electric fields and laser traps. Yet familiar old silicon would be decidedly more scalable and convenient if only there were reliable ways to…
