Record-breaking chip can transmit entire internet’s traffic per second

Posted on October 24, 2022 by Michael Irving

A new photonic chip design has achieved a world record data transmission speed of 1.84 petabits per second

The speed record for data transmission using a single light source and optical chip has been shattered once again. Engineers have transmitted data at a blistering rate of 1.84 petabits per second (Pbit/s), almost twice the global internet traffic per second.

Engineered yeast produces complex cancer drug, saving tons of flowers

Posted on September 2, 2022 by Michael Irving

A commonly used cancer drug called vinblastine is sourced from certain flowers, but unfortunately it takes literally tons of plant matter to make each gram of the drug. To find an alternative source, scientists have now engineered yeast to produce the … Continue reading Engineered yeast produces complex cancer drug, saving tons of flowers→

Graphene used to create “world’s thinnest Christmas tree”

Posted on December 24, 2021 by Ben Coxworth

A couple of years ago, Canadian scientists celebrated the Christmas season by creating a microscopic gingerbread house. In that same spirit, Danish researchers have now produced what they claim is the world’s thinnest Christmas tree – and it’s made of … Continue reading Graphene used to create “world’s thinnest Christmas tree”→

“CareGum” could boost rehabilitative tech and nonverbal communications

Posted on December 15, 2021 by Ben Coxworth

An experimental new material could help rehabilitate the injured and allow the nonspeaking to “speak,” among other potential uses. It’s also highly elastic, electrically conductive and self-healing – and it’s known as CareGum.Continue ReadingCategory: … Continue reading “CareGum” could boost rehabilitative tech and nonverbal communications→

Denmark grows after world’s northernmost island discovered off Greenland

Posted on August 30, 2021 by David Szondy

The Kingdom of Denmark just got a teeny bit bigger after researchers from the University of Copenhagen accidentally discovered the world’s northernmost island. Measuring only 30 x 60 m (100 x 200 ft), the still unnamed isle is located 780 m (2,560 ft) … Continue reading Denmark grows after world’s northernmost island discovered off Greenland→

Tiny harvester designed to draw chemicals straight from plant cells

Posted on May 26, 2021 by Ben Coxworth

Imagine if in order to get apple juice, the whole tree had to be ground up, and then the juice had to be separated from everything else. Well, that’s kind of how things currently are with therapeutic plant extracts … but perhaps not for much longer, th… Continue reading Tiny harvester designed to draw chemicals straight from plant cells→
