Trinity College Dublin Researchers at CRANN (The Centre for Research on Adaptive Nanostructures and Nanodevices), and the School of Physics at Trinity College Dublin, today announced that a magnetic material developed at the Centre demonstrates the fastest magnetic switching ever recorded. The team used femtosecond laser systems in the Photonics Research Laboratory at CRANN to switch and then re-switch the magnetic orientation of their material in trillionths of a second, six times faster than ...

'Unknown at home' startup gets support from Rocket Lab backer, NZ's Movac.

By Stephen Nellis OAKLAND, Calif. (Reuters) - The chief executive of "Fortnite" creator Epic Games testified on Monday that he knew he was breaking Apple Incs App Store rules by putting Epics own in-app payment system into the game last year but wanted to highlight Apples sway over the worlds iPhone users, which now total 1 billion. "I wanted the world to see that Apple exercises total control over all software on iOS, and it can use that control to deny users access to apps," Tim Sweeney sa...

BEN TURNER, LIVE SCIENCE 4 MAY 2021 Scientists have gotten one step closer to a quantum internet by creating the worlds first multinode quantum network.  Researchers at the QuTech research center in the Netherlands created the system, which is made up of three quantum nodes entangled by the spooky laws of quantum mechanics that govern subatomic particles. It is the first time that more than two quantum bits, or "qubits" that do the calculations in quantum computing have been linked toget...

The ACCC is taking more bits out of Apple, finds it a bit sour. The ACCCs continuing investigation against Apple regarding its warranty is still going on, but with Apple refusing to budge on its policies, the result might be an increase in mobile plan fees. Apple are refusing to let Telcos (like Telstra, Optus, etc) to offer repair services for the Apple iPhone. Last week, I posted about Telstra now offering 24 months warranty on their handsets, with Apples iPhone excluded. The ACCC is still p...

Date Time Photonics research harnesses power of light In a lab at USC, Mercedeh Khajavikhan engineers new structures that change the shape of light as it is transported. She creates groundbreaking structures in a field of science called photonics. Her work is important because it affects many things used in daily life, including lasers for imaging and sensing, fiber optic cables for advanced communications and computer chips to increase processing capabilities to a level earlier generations cou...

ITU The sun is rising on a Japanese rooftop fragrant with muskmelons. Amid the greenery, a network of monitors and sensors pulsates reassuringly. The idyllic, glass-enclosed roofscape provides a real-life platform for digital agriculture – one of many applications with the potential to feed smart cities of the future. But before this verdant vision can become reality, certain enabling conditions must be in place. Information islands Current methods of smart city governance are challenged wit...
