LoRa World Record: 71,572km to Space and Back

“What you see below is a an honest-to-goodness LoRa carrier that is being received at 11.9024 GHz from SES-2. The total round trip distance from the uplink facility to our 2-cm antenna in Chicago is about 71,572km …

Reinventing the Inductor

“A new materials-based approach by Kaustav Banerjee yields a smaller, higher-performing alternative to the classic design A basic building block of modern technology, inductors are everywhere: cellphones, laptops, radios, televisions, cars. And surprisingly, they are essentially the same today as …

Researchers discover novel exciton interactions in carbon nanotubes

“In the study, a collaborative research team showed that Raman spectroscopy (a form of light scattering) can provide more extensive characterization of intertube excitons. Nanotechnology researchers studying small bundles of carbon nanotubes have discovered an optical signature showing excitons bound …

Researchers invent tiny, light-powered wires to modulate brain’s electrical signals

“The human brain largely remains a black box: How the network of fast-moving electrical signals turns into thought, movement and disease remains poorly understood. But it is electrical, so it can be hacked—the question is finding a precise, easy …
