Scientists use heat to store data on magnetic hard drive
-
A multinational team of scientists have discovered a new method to store data magnetically that is hundreds of times faster than current hard drives are capable of. The new method demonstrated by the research team uses a laser that fires for 1/10,000 of a nanosecond...
Scientists successfully cloak three-dimensional object in free space
- Scientists at the University of Texas in Austin have successfully “cloaked” a three-dimensional object in free space for the first time. Unfortunately they were only able to do so for waves in the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum, meaning…
Physicists set world record with 186Gbps network transfer
- Scientists at Caltech managed to squeeze 186Gbps of data through a fiber optic network link between Victoria, B.C and Seattle, WA. This achievement marks the highest speed transfer ever over a long-range network, breaking the previous record of 119Gbps which…
MIT develops ultra-fast camera that captures the motion of light
- In everyday life, we take for granted how instantaneous light seems. In reality though, the photons which make up the light we see travel around 186,280 miles per second. Researchers at MIT have developed a digital camera capable of capturing…
Display embedded into contact lens, powered wirelessly
- Researchers have been testing (their website appears to be under heavy load) a new display that can be embedded into a contact lens and powered wirelessly by a detached energy source. Despite the fantastic possibilities of such a device, it has a…
New computer chip mimics human brain
- Plasticity. That is the term used to describe a key element deemed responsible for allowing our brains to learn, change and adapt. Researchers at MIT believe they have taken a major step toward replicating this important behavior in the silicon…
Quantum levitation demonstrated in viral video
- A demonstration by Tel-Aviv University’s Superconductivity Group School of Physics and Astronomy shows quantum locking in action. The video was recorded at the Association of Science – Technology Centers Annual Conference and has already been viewed nearly 400,000 times in…
Scientists build 800Mbps wireless network with just LEDs
- Scientists working at the Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications (Heinrich Hertz Institute) in Berlin, Germany have successfully developed a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) capable of speeds up to 800Mbps. They used it to send full HD movies to notebooks, smartphones,…
