#Google Project Loon Set to Enmesh the Globe with Internet Balloons by 2016 Project Loon is yet another highly ambitious project of the tech-giant Google,
To achieve this, the company plans to send out a fleet of super-pressurised helium balloons,
Hundreds if not thousands of these balloons are to be launched into the stratosphere providing Internet access to rural areas,
Basically, the balloons will be maneuvered by adjusting their altitude to float to a wind layer with the desired speed
The signal travels through the network balloon to balloon then to a ground-based station connected to an Internet service provider (ISP),
We need about 300 balloons or so to make a continuous string around the world,
with each of the 300 proposed balloons providing connectivity to the ground below in an area that spans 40 kilometres.
As for the balloons themselves, the company claims theye come a long way since the announcement of the project two years ago. n the early days

an international team of astronomers has discovered jets of material ejected by still-forming young brown dwarfs,
and found that four of them have the type of jets emitted by more-massive stars during their formation.
The jets were detected by radio observations with the VLA. The scientists also observed the brown dwarfs with the Spitzer
and Herschel space telescopes to confirm their status as very young objects. his is the first time that such jets have been found coming from brown dwarfs at such an early stage of their formation,
In the early stages of star formation, jets of material are propelled outward from the poles of the disk.
No such jets mark planet formation, however. Previous evidence strongly suggested that brown dwarfs shared the same formation mechanism as their larger siblings
but detecting the telltale jets is an important confirmation. Based on this discovery, e conclude that the formation of brown dwarfs is scaled a-down version of the process that forms larger stars,

#Does Lockheed martin Really Have a Breakthrough Fusion Machine? Lockheed martin s announcement last week that it had developed secretly a promising design for a compact nuclear fusion reactor has met with excitement but also skepticism over the basic feasibility of its approach.
Nuclear fusion could produce far more energy far more cleanly than the fission reactions at the heart of today s nuclear power plants.
and no hard evidence that Lockheed has overcome them. The so-far-insurmountable challenge is to confine hydrogen plasma at conditions under
Tom Mcguire project lead of the Lockheed effort said in an interview that the company has come up with a compact design called a high beta fusion reactor based on principles of so-called magnetic mirror confinement.
Lockheed said the test reactor is only two meters long by one meter wide far smaller than existing research reactors.
He added that with research partners Lockheed could develop a competed prototype within five years and a commercial application within a decade.
Ian Hutchinson a professor of nuclear science and engineering at MIT and one of the principal investigators at the MIT fusion research reactor says the type of confinement described by Lockheed had long been studied without much success. Hutchinson says he was only
able to comment on what Lockheed has released some pictures diagrams and commentary which can be found here.
Lockheed joins a number of other companies working on smaller and cheaper types of fusion reactors. These include Tri-Alpha a company based near Irvine California that is testing a linear-shaped reactor;
#Shape-Shifting Carbon Composites Could Save Fuel Airbus and researchers at MIT are developing shape-shifting materials that could make aircraft simpler and lighter potentially saving fuel.
Made of carbon fiber composites the materials shift between two or more shapes in response to changes in heat air pressure or other environmental factors.
They can be integrated into aircraft easily replacing the need for more complex hydraulic actuators motors and hinges.
The first application might be in a jet engine s air intake valve which needs to adjust as the plane changes altitude.
You can find them in cars airplanes robots and medical implants. But their use has been limited in aircraft
because many can t handle the conditions planes are exposed to such as extreme temperature changes says Christophe Cros a technology program leader at Airbus. The MIT approach has a number of advantages Cros says.
First most shape-shifting materials don t use carbon composites which are common in aircraft because of their light weight and high strength.
And though others have worked on carbon composites that can respond to a specific stimulus such as heat Cros says in the new approach the carbon composites can be paired with a variety of shape-shifting materials that respond to different environmental triggers.
