The art of startup storytelling with Julian Shapiro
"Signal is more important than frequency in an era where we're overloaded with content." Although he’s coming from a numbers-driven background, growth expert Julian Shapiro focuses on the emotional power of storytelling these days. &#.....»»
Astronomers develop sky model to help ultralong-wavelength observations
The radio sky at frequencies below ~30 MHz, particularly below ~10 MHz, is still largely unknown. Due to the absorption and distortion by the ionosphere, it is quite difficult to receive radio signal of such ultra-long wavelength by telescopes on Ear.....»»
On the hunt for "hierarchical" black holes
Black holes, detected by their gravitational wave signal as they collide with other black holes, could be the product of much earlier parent collisions. Such an event has only been hinted at so far, but scientists at the University of Birmingham in t.....»»

The next generation of information processing is through coherent gate operations
Many of us swing through gates every day—points of entry and exit to a space like a garden, park or subway. Electronics have gates too. These control the flow of information from one place to another by means of an electrical signal. Unlike a garde.....»»
New method to measure loss of signal in far-infrared instruments
After carefully observing dim objects in the night sky, you don't want to waste any precious signal on its way from the telescope dish to the detector. But in the case of far-infrared astronomy, it's not as easy as it sounds to transport the signal e.....»»
Ultra-strong squeezing of light demonstrated for ultrafast optical signal processing
A train carrying cargo has finite space. The amount of cargo that can be carried onboard is limited by the size of the cargo and the capacity of the train. Analogously, the amount of time taken up by an optical signal limits the amount of data that c.....»»
