Japan collab transmits record data speeds on terahertz waves

Researchers from Japan-based semiconductor manufacturer Rohm, together with a team from Osaka University, have come up with a chip that, in experiments, has achieved a wireless data transmission speed of 1.5 gigabits per second. This is a record breaker as the world's first terahertz wireless communication achieved with a small semiconductor device. The chip’s ability to transmit at such a quick speed is not the end of the story. Even higher transmission speeds of up to 30 Gbps may be possible in the future, according to reports.

“Research into terahertz technology utilising Terahertz frequency (100GHz-10THz) is now receiving increasing attention around the world,” according to an Osaka University publication

Le LTE (Long Term Evolution) est l'évolution la plus récente des normes de téléphonie mobile : GSM/EDGE, UMTS, CDMA2000 et TD-SCDMA.

La largeur de la bande de fréquences allouée à l’opérateur du réseau. Le débit utile est pratiquement proportionnel à cette largeur de bande (pouvant varier de 1,4 MHz à 20 MHz en LTE, 100 MHz en LTE Advanced).

Les types d’antennes utilisés coté terminal et coté réseau (antenne relais): le débit binaire maximal de 326,4 Mbit/s suppose des antennes MIMO 4X4 (quadruples) aux 2 extrémités de la liaison radio LTE (cas de figure peu réaliste pour un téléphone mobile ou un smartphone). La distance entre le terminal et la (ou les) antennes fixes (le débit est très inférieur en périphérie de cellules radio à cause des interférences avec les cellules adjacentes) et les conditions de réception radio (interférences, bruit, échos liés aux réflexions sur les immeubles, …). Le nombre d’utilisateurs actifs se partageant la bande passante au sein d’une cellule (surface radiante d'une antenne) LTE; plus il y a d’abonnés en communication moins chacun a de débit unitaire. La position fixe (statique) ou « en mouvement » du terminal de l’abonné ; le débit utile est réduit pour un terminal en mouvement. La capacité en débit et en nombre d'utilisateurs simultanés de la station de base (eNode B) et le débit du lien optique reliant cette station au cœur de réseau. Le type et la catégorie du terminal influent aussi sur le débit maximum possible ; par exemple un terminal LTE (en anglais : UE "User Equipment") de catégorie 1, ne supporte qu’un débit binaire de 10 Mbit/s alors qu’un autre de catégorie 3 supportera 100 Mbit/s (voir tableau ci-dessous). En contrepartie, plus la catégorie du terminal est élevée, plus le terminal sera complexe (coûteux) et moins son autonomie sera grande (à niveau technologique égal).

Mini-bots

map out building interiors

The rolling droids are being developed by Georgia Institute of Technology, the University of Pennsylvania, and the California Institute of Technology/Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Equipped with two cameras and laser scanners, they can autonomously explore hallways in an unfamiliar building, detecting doors and windows, and create a map for users such as soldiers or firefighters. The project is part of the Micro Autonomous Systems and Technology (MAST) program and is being sponsored by the Army Research Laboratory. The program is aimed at developing palm-size machines that can hover in place, enter buildings, and perform other insect-like stunts while gathering data and relaying it to human controllers.

paper that's stronger than steel

University of Technology, Sydney scientists have reported remarkable results in developing a composite material based on graphite that is a thin as paper and ten times stronger than steel.

Graphene paper (GP) is a material that can be processed, reshaped and reformed from its original raw material state - graphite.
