Demonstrating a 1-Pbps orbital angular momentum fiber-optic transmission
Space-division multiplexing (SDM) technology has a promising role in overcoming the so-called "capacity crunch" of existing single mode fiber (SMF). Now, researchers in China experimentally demonstrated an orbital-angular-momentum (OAM) mode based SD.....»»
This might be why FSR 3 isn’t picking up momentum
The developers of an upcoming survival game decided to remove AMD's FSR 3 before launch due to unexpected crashes......»»
Study shows promise of transceiver-based sensing for active monitoring of fiber networks
Researchers have successfully used a coherent transceiver prototype to detect polarization changes that preceded a cable break in a live network. The work, which is one of the first demonstrations of field-based measurements for an active cable break.....»»
Passing stars altered orbital evolution of Earth and other planets, astronomers find
Stars that pass by our solar system have altered the long-term orbital evolution of planets, including Earth, and, by extension, modified our climate......»»
Study finds climate change has contributed to the spatial expansion of West Nile virus in Europe
West Nile virus is an emerging pathogen in Europe and represents a public health threat in previously non-affected European countries. Occurring in a cycle involving transmission between bird and mosquito species, this virus can be transmitted to hum.....»»

How semiconductor defects could boost quantum technology
In diamonds (and other semiconducting materials), defects are a quantum sensor's best friend. That's because defects, essentially a jostled arrangement of atoms, sometimes contain electrons with an angular momentum, or spin, that can store and proces.....»»
Evidence that atomically thin hafnium telluride is an excitonic insulator
The condensation of excitons with non-zero momentum can give rise to so-called charge density waves (CDW). This phenomenon can prompt the transition of materials into a fascinating new quantum phase, known as an excitonic insulator......»»
Learning the trick to finding cannibalized stars
Scientists working with the powerful telescopes at Georgia State's Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA) Array have completed a survey of a group of stars suspected to have devoured most of the gas from orbiting companion stars. These.....»»
