Modern life depends on fast and reliable wireless connections. Video calls, streaming services, virtual reality, and smart devices all place growing demands on networks that already serve billions of users. Most wireless data today travels […]
A new data transmission speed record of 450 terabits per second using an existing, commercially installed optical fiber link has been set by a team of engineers involving UCL researchers. The achievement was presented at […]
Researchers at Trinity have developed a new light-based technology on a tiny chip that could help make the data centers behind cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and global internet services faster and more efficient. In the […]
Imagine a world without internet, email, streaming services or social media. Imagine having to write letters or call everyone on a rotary dial phone to communicate. Imagine having to drive to a store to buy […]
Swarms of pico-satellites could work together as a single large antenna for direct-to-smartphone communications, as reported by researchers from Japan. Instead of relying on a single large satellite with a phased-array antenna, the team showed […]
When a nuclear plant reaches the end of its life or is damaged, it must be decommissioned. This process can take more than 20 years and includes decontamination, dismantling, and handling radioactive materials so the […]
Korean researchers have confirmed that underground wireless communication is possible, moving beyond the terrestrial wireless communication they have primarily focused on until now. This opened up a new wireless channel for confirming the survival of […]
Viewers would rather watch video at slightly lower speeds than endure rebuffering, according to new research from Lancaster University. The study investigated how dynamically slowing down or speeding up playback is perceived by viewers, and […]
Researchers from IMDEA Materials Institute, in collaboration with China’s Nanjing and Huazhong Universities, have developed a new acoustic metamaterial capable of transmitting complex sound signals directly between water and air. The advance, reported in the […]
While satellite navigation has become an essential part of modern life, it still struggles to work reliably indoors and in dense urban environments where high-rise buildings deteriorate signal propagation. In his doctoral dissertation at the […]
