Completely New World Record Of 26 Terra Bits Per Second Data Files Transmittal Achieved

With video content utilizing ever more bandwidth, the necessity for faster data transmission rates has never been significantly greater.
At this moment a crew of scientists at Germany’s Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) are claiming a world record in data transmission with the effective encoding of data files at a rate of 26 terrabits per sec. on a stand alone laser beam and sending it over a length of 50 km (31 miles).
The scientists say this is the largest data volume ever transferred on a laser beam and enables the transferral of 700 DVD’s worth of content in just one second.
With no electronic processing methods readily available for a data rate of 26 terabits per second, the team produced a new opto-electric data resolution approach. This course of action relies on entirely optical calculations to break down the first high data rate into reduced bit rates that can then be processed electrically.
The record-breaking data encoding also utilized the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme established on Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) mathematical routines that is normally put to use in mobile communications networks including digital TV and audio broadcasts.
Because energy is essential for the laser and a couple of process steps only, the team says the new procedure is not only exceptionally fast, but also very power efficient.
“Our result shows that physical limits are not yet exceeded even at extremely high data rates,” says Professor Jürg Leuthold, who led the KIT experiment. “A few years ago, data rates of 26 terabits per second were deemed utopian even for systems with many lasers and there would not have been any applications. With 26 terabits per second, it would have been possible to transmit up to 400 million telephone calls at the same time. Nobody needed this at that time. Today, the situation is different.”
The most current breakthrough follows on from the earlier high-speed data transmission record set by the KIT scientists in 2010, when they productively exceeded the data rate of 10 terabits (or 10,000 billion bits) per second.
The KIT experiment engaged companies and scientists from all across Europe, including members of the staff of Agilent and Micram Deutschland, Time-Bandwidth Switzerland, Finisar Israel, and the University of Southampton in Great Britain. The experiment is detailed in the journal Nature Photonics.

Carbon nanotube
Television touch screen has been marketed long ago, now the people are demanding for mobiles touch screen. It is said that touch screen should be highly sensitive, transparent and has good conductivity. For the purpose researchers are using an element called indium, but on the other hand facing a problem that indium is found very rare on earth.
After a lot of experiments a substitute has been discovered called Carbon nanotubes, which is different from Carbon fibers. The Carbon nanotube is fifty thousand times thinner than a human hair, but found extraordinary stronger and could be stressed up to 18 centimeter. Carbon nanotubes may be used in many fields, such as optics material, science and electronics.
Computer control cars convey
The careless drivers always cause accidents due to the fast speed or carelessness. It produces a lot of problems to the citizens. Hence to overcome this serious factor the scientists make a program to control the cars convey from computer. Sensitive cameras and sensors will be fitted in the cars to connect them together without any wire or mechanism.
In this way the drivers of the cars could sleep or read a thick novel of Robert Ludlum on the driving seat, keeping their cars on a suitable distance. Hence by this controlling the cars will not face any accident and everybody will reach up to his destination safely. To facilitate other drivers, it is manage that anyone could come in convey at any moment and may depart himself at any time. This computer control cars convey is tested successfully by the Volvo in Sweden and the project is funded by the European commission, with an amount of six million Euros.
Food freshening plastic
Even the food which kept in the refrigerators decay after a particular period, but a  professor in Sweden introduce a plastic sheet, when wrapped around the food, it protect the food from decaying. The plastic indicates you the decaying by changing its color. But researcher in Germany has improved it by   producing a new kind of plastic sheet, when rapped around the food will keep it fresh for a long time.
The plastic sheet is treated by a layer of chemicals, when wrapped around the food it comes in contact with the food and starts releasing the antibiotics which defend against the bacteria. It saves the food like meat, fish and cheese for a long time.
Unbreakable glass
Astonishing news came from California that a glass has been produced which is unbreakable and stronger than steel. This glass may bend, but cannot break. The Unbreakable property of glass has been produced by an element Palladium. After testing, it is proved that the substances which have been produced in the past to avoid breaking, cannot match with this glass. Due to this fantastic quality this glass will be used for industrial products, as well as for defense.

Advanced Technology

Real images
In the near future you will be talking with the members of your family face-to-face. The holographic image of your family members will look real, even though they will be away several thousand miles from you. As you know about the 3D films, televisions and cameras, the next development will be of 3D holographic images that can be transmitted in real time. It seems to be a science fiction, but it is happening.
Glowing dress
Your dress will glow in the party and will change its colors. The dress will emit soft light and will not harmful for your and others eye. This could be happen by the development of organic light emitting diodes impregnated special thin film polymeric fabrics, the layers of organic semiconductors is placed between two electrodes so that the material can conduct electricity. The solar cells placed in the material (dress) will produce the power to glow.
Energy saving kite
A German company is introducing a fuel saving giant kite which will fly at the height of 400 meters by the computers. This kite of 382 square yards will be tied in front of a giant ship. The kite will conceive its power by wind. The launch and retrieval of the kite will be carried out by a built-in mechanical system comprising a winch-equipped telescoping tower installed on the bow of the ship. It will save 35 percent of fuel.
Robot skin
A sensitive artificial skin has been introduced that may be coated on the humanoid robot which will make him so much sensitive that it could feel the weight of a butterfly and ant. This flexible skin is developed by a Stanford scientist named Zhenan Bao. This skin is highly elastic and is molded on top of tiny pyramids, which will transmit the pressure applied on it to sensors kept in another rubber layer under. The number of pyramids can be increased according to the sensitivity. These pyramids are placed between two parallel electrodes, so it will detect the pressure on the skin. It is powered by solar cells. Due to this modification it can detect the dangerous chemicals such as explosives or diagnose medical conditions by simply touching a patient.
Magical refrigerator
These refrigerators are working strangely without power. Due to breakdown in power, accurse innumerable problems for storage of food and sensitive medicine, so a new refrigerator has now introduced by a company named True Energy. This new refrigerator can keep the temperature at below 10 degrees Centigrade for up to 10 days without external power! It uses a special device that stores the energy and releases it when required.
New computer device
A Japan based company, Fujitsu has now introduce a wireless monitor, which will give you release of the burden of mess of wires and will connect the computer with monitor. The monitor will through induction. The induction system is simple and uses very little power to transmit signals wirelessly through the air. The company has developed the technology that allows power and picture to the beam to computer monitors in a complete wireless manner.  Fujitsu is working in collaboration with Ministry Of Germany Of Economic Affairs.  Fujitsu has set up a large manufacturing facility in Germany for its computers, servers and other devices.

Top Inventions In Need

Electrical Fire Extinguisher
The scientists know very well that electricity can extinguish fire, but they don’t the science behind it. Now George Whitesides and his helping hands are working on this theory that the soot particles of the flame can be charged which destabilize the flames and extinguish the fire. If beams of electricity are fired at flames, the flames quickly go out, as if water had been sprayed over them. A 600 watt amplifier connected to a wand is used to deliver the electrical beams. On the basis of the work carried out, backpacks are being developed for firemen who could be shooting electricity beams at the fires. In the same way, buildings can be fitted with electricity amplifiers on roofs, instead of water spraying, to extinguish fires. Such a system could save huge amounts of water wasted in extinguishing fires and avoid damage to buildings and contents.
Poor bio fuel is a strong energy
The fuels which could be achieved from wasted products. They may be in solid bio mass, liquid or gases. The material which could be taken through photosynthetic processes, they can be referred to solar energy source. In March 2011, aviation made a history, when an F-22 Raptor fighter jet aircraft flew using the bio fuel taken from mustard called ‘camelina’ mixed with a ratio of 1:1 with conventional jet fuel. The fighter aircraft said to be successful when it flew at the speed of 50 per cent grater than the speed of sound. The same experiment has been done from KLM and Japan airlines; they also used bio fuel of camelina in their aircrafts and it successfully. Camelina is widely grown in USA, usually as a formal crop. Bio fuel is cheaper than the conventional fuel, because the camelina is about $ 70/ barrel, whereas the conventional fuels are selling in market above $100/ barrel. How interesting!
Artificial leaves for energy
A lot of scientists have been trying to develop ‘artificial leaves’ for so many years. This will be a device that could use sunlight to split water into two elements, hydrogen and oxygen. The produced hydrogen can be stored in fuel cells and will be used for the production of energy. What will be role of artificial leaves? The natural leaves with algae and bacteria are able to carry out photosynthesis. By this process the carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere, with the help of sunlight energy produce compounds like sugars. Oxygen is released as a by-product of the reaction, this maintains the level of oxygen in the atmosphere and removes carbon dioxide from it and reduce the global warming, and provides food which is necessary for our survival. The yearly rate of energy taken by the process of photosynthesis is about 100 terawatts, which is about six times the yearly power consumption on our planet. In US the professor of Chemistry with his co-workers, now have developed a material which is thinner than a leaf and contains a couple of cheap catalysts that serves the purpose. If this leaf is placed on a gallon of water under sunlight and connected to a fuel cell; it can supply so much electricity which may be enough for a small household, for a day. The Scientists say that these types of leaves can produce 10 times more energy than a natural leaf.
Incredible artificial arm
The technology is advancing day by day and incredible inventions are coming into being. It is possible now for a disabled person to move his wheel chair or drive cars controlled by his own thoughts and his own brain. Two biomedical engineering students, of University in Toronto have developed an artificial arm that can be controlled by thought. This artificial arm will be powered by compressed air; this is easy to form and avoids the need of surgery that is necessary to fit artificial arm. The disabled person which will use this arm may send signals to it through a skull cap. This cap has sensors which ‘feels’ The change in blood flow in the brain, it Happen when the thought command is released. These signals are sent to a microprocessor in the arm which already has stored shapes for signals such as forward, backward, up and down. The microprocessor matches these signals coming from the brain with those already stored shapes in it for different movements and moves according to it.
Amazing plastic
How wonderful it is that, when you are driving and sitting on a car seat made of bananas, pineapples and coconuts? Why not as after all this is the amazing world of fantastic inventions. Most plastics are normally made from chemical reactions of particular chemicals. These chemicals derived from petroleum or natural gas. A group of researchers at the University of Brazil have now found that a new kind of plastic can be manufactured from materials such as pineapple stems, banana plants and coconut fibers. That is incredible!
This excellent type of material is prepared from these sources a pound of which can be used to prepare a hundred pounds of magical plastic. The resulting material is expected to be used in manufacture of plastics used in the automobile industry.
Strokes detector
We use sound waves through water technique, by submarines to detect the depth of the sea and to avoid other objects. Active sonar emits pulses of sounds and listens to the echoes that come back after striking to objects. Now sonar has been produced to detect strokes in human brains. There are sensitive sensors attached to the sonar which detects the pressure of waves generated by the blood vessels. This device is worn on the head. Irregularities in the blood flow caused by clots in blood vessels can be detected by conclusion of the resulting patterns. Strokes show a major cause of death all over the world and early detection of the problem is difficult. The sonar device will be a best tool for the physician to detect the nature of the stroke and the medication which necessary to overcome the problem.

Is Apple Planning an iPhone 5 AND an iPhone 4S?

According to CNN, Apple will begin production of a fifth-generation iPhone in August and launch it by the end of September.According to the sources Apple could debut two new iPhones this year, an iPhone 5 and an iPhone “4S”.

The iPhone 5 faces three different pricing levels as its release date ticks down and the iPhone 4S looks at whiffing altogether once the public realizes it never existed.By Apple’s own words hints that the iPhone could be more affordable in the future.
Sources expect that Apple will release minor update to iPhone 4, dubbed with the iPhone 4S, and major update alongside the major iOS 5 calling it iPhone 5.

“With Nokia and RIMM struggling,” he writes, “the time is right for Apple to aggressively penetrate the mid range smart-phone market (i.e. $300-500 category) to dramatically expand its [total addressable market] and market share.”

As Whitmore sees it, an iPhone 4S that is unlocked, priced around $349, and comes with a pre-paid voice plan would “drive significantly greater penetration” into an addressable market that has grown to include 1.5 billion potential customers in 98 countries, two thirds of whom prefer pre-paid plans

MeeGo Based Nokia N9 Confirmed for 2011

Seemingly Nokia isn’t going to give up with smartphones. At the Nokia Connection event in Singapore Nokia CEO Stephen Elop confirmed that the company’s first MeeGo-based device Nokia N9 will be made available around Q4 2011.
Nokia is hoping that this new phone will be able to attract Samsung, HTC or even Apple’s latest product lovers who value elegance.
Nokia says that N9 will be a high end smartphone, built for those who value class and beauty and, arguably, can be termed as one of the best phones of Nokia till date.
Most calling feature of Nokia N9 is it’s design. The 3.9 inch curved glass AMOLED display fitted in unibody design provides a new experience. Practically there is no gap between the glass and the display giving new life to phone display.
Made from polycarbonate in one-piece, phone has no screws, no edges, seamless design. All you get is just the elegance and smoothness. In addition to the design, polycarbonate helps reducing the weight and results in better signal reception giving user the best out of it.
Another prominent feature of this phone is that you will not find any button on the front side of  the phone not even a home button which Apple always loves to add. Here the phone gives you new control experience which is identification mark for this beauty.
‘Swipe’ is the word that is chosen. To visit home screen from an application, swipe the screen from corner and to unlock the device, simply double tap the screen.
The Nokia N9 comes in three colours: black, cyan and magenta and with storage capacities of 16GB and 64GB.
Nokia claims to have  8MP auto focus camera with Carl Zeiss optics, dual LED flash and super wide 28mm lens, which as per Nokia  works faster from start to capture than any other manufacturer’s smartphone camera in the market.
HTML5 supported browser with Webkit 2 technology gives better browsing experience. Latest Nokia maps with voice guided navigation puts another feather in N9′s cap.
Downside of the phone is that it is still using MeeGo OS, which may not be very welcoming for the ones who are comparing it with other competitors. Unlike the other Nokia may be lagging on this point considering the application development on this platform.
Also this phones comes with 1GHz single core chip which in no way is going to compete the other giants in the market with Dual Core Processors.
Summing up, if you are looking for the beauty and class, N9 will welcome you with both hands but for those who are more interested in inside than the outer one, you guys really need to wait meanwhile Nokia launches something to compete Apple, Samsung or HTC.
