In a world where Wi-Fi and mobile data are everywhere, a new way to send information is making waves. Scientists have cooked up a cool method using visible light to transmit data. This isn't just any light—it's the kind that comes from LEDs, like the ones in your phone's flashlight or streetlights.
The world of data transmission just got a major upgrade. A new type of fiber optic technology has smashed previous speed records. It can send data at an astonishing 1. 02 petabits per second. To put that into perspective, it's like downloading every movie on Netflix 30 times over. This was achieve
Imagine turning an old audio cable into a data transmission line that stretches over 143 kilometers. That's exactly what two hackers achieved recently. At a tech gathering in Germany, one hacker showed how to extend Toslink optical audio cables way past their usual 10-meter limit. Another hacker, ju
Offshore oil fields face a big problem when the weather turns bad—microwave signals become unstable and noisy. To fix this, scientists used a method called Lagrange multiplier symplectic singular value mode decomposition to clean up the signal's noise. This was done in five steps: rebuilding the sig
Weather stations around the globe are busy capturing data about the environment. These instruments, often managed by weather organizations, gather information like temperature, rainfall, and wind speed. The data they collect is then sent to central points for processing. However, the current methods
Imagine transferring a two-hour 4K movie in just 0. 12 seconds! That's what UK researchers from University College London (UCL) have pulled off. They combined electronic and photonic technologies to reach a crazy-fast data speed of 1 terabit per second (Tbps) in lab tests. This new wireless tech use
