Wireless data transmission 1 terabit per second

26.02.2015

Researchers at the UK-based 5G Innovation Center of Surrey seem to have set a new record. Most recently, they tested equipment that provides wireless data transmission at speeds of more than 1 terabit per second with minimal latency.

This is truly an achievement that surpasses previous results - for example, 7,5 Gb / s achieved in Samsung laboratories. But more importantly, new systems have made it possible to reduce network delays to a value in the region of one millisecond.

True, in this mode they were tested at a distance of no more than 100 meters in laboratory conditions. The result has been confirmed and recorded, and now the researchers plan to conduct a series of tests in real conditions, which is scheduled for next year. And in 2018, it is planned to hold a public demonstration of the new communication technology.

As one of the project participants noted, the most important aspect of fifth generation (5G) networks will be long-term support for new applications. It is not yet known which applications will be used in 2020, 2030, and even more so in 2040, but one thing is clear - they will be very demanding on latency.

There is a lot of work to be done in the coming years before such speeds become a reality, as it will require a completely new infrastructure and new technologies that can fit in smartphones, but at the same time support such a fast data transfer. In the meantime, many LTE-enabled smartphones do not support all the capabilities of even fourth-generation networks (4G), and the LTE-Advanced standard allows you to download data at a speed of about 1 Gb / s for stationary receivers and around 300 Mb / s for mobile users.

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Major risk factor for gambling addiction 07.05.2024

Computer games are becoming an increasingly popular form of entertainment among teenagers, but the associated risk of gaming addiction remains a significant problem. American scientists conducted a study to determine the main factors contributing to this addiction and offer recommendations for its prevention. Over the course of six years, 385 teenagers were followed to find out what factors may predispose them to gambling addiction. The results showed that 90% of study participants were not at risk of addiction, while 10% became gambling addicts. It turned out that the key factor in the onset of gambling addiction is a low level of prosocial behavior. Teenagers with a low level of prosocial behavior do not show interest in the help and support of others, which can lead to a loss of contact with the real world and a deepening dependence on virtual reality offered by computer games. Based on these results, scientists ... >>

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

floating solar farm 04.12.2014

On a lake in the Berkshire region (UK), rafts were launched on which 800 photovoltaic panels were installed. Their total power is 200 kW.

The project is valued at $400. The farm is capable of producing a relatively small amount of electricity, but it is expected that the profit will eventually exceed $30 per month. It is assumed that the cost of creating a farm will pay off within 6 years.

It is important that the structures are completely made from recycled materials. According to the owner of the solar farm, Mark Bennet, the estimated life of its operation is 30 years. The farm is safe even if used in reservoirs that are used to obtain drinking water.

Such structures are not tied to large tracts of land, and they can be built on almost any reservoir. Among other things, solar panels contribute to the darkening of the water surface, resulting in reduced water evaporation.
