Sending information in optical fibers over long distances in the classical regime Sending information over long distances can be done by encoding messages into light pulses, and sending them through optical fibers. But there is loss in fibers, so amplification is necessary along the way. Repeaters amplify the light pulses at specific intervals along the…
Chemistry Student in Sun Harvest Breakthrough
The Sun is a huge source of energy. In just one hour planet Earth is hit by so much sunshine that humankind could cover its energy needs for an entire year if only we knew how to harvest and save it. But storing sunshine is not trivial. Now a student at Department of Chemistry, University…
