#Double twist radio waves send data faster In the past, scientists have twisted light to send data super fast,

but new research shows that a similar technique with radio waves can also reach high speeds.

The researchers reached data transmission rates of 32 gigabits per second across 2. 5 meters of free space in a basement lab at the University of Southern California.

For reference, 32 gigabits per second is fast enough to transmit more than 10 hour -and-a-half-long HD movies in one second and is 30 times faster than LTE wireless. ot only is this a way to transmit multiple spatially collocated radio data streams through a single aperture,

it is also one of the fastest data transmission via radio waves that has been demonstrated, says study leader Alan Willner, electrical engineering professor at the USC Viterbi School of engineering.

Faster data transmission rates have been led achievedillner himself a team two years ago that twisted light beams to transmit data at a blistering 2. 56 terabits per secondut methods to do so rely on light to carry the data. he advantage

of radio is that it uses wider, more robust beams. Wider beams are better able to cope with obstacles between the transmitter and the receiver

The color display technology delivers bright red blue and green hues from five-micron-square pixels that each contains several hundred aluminum nanorods.

and the spacing between them researchers Stephan Link and Jana Olson showed they could create pixels that produced dozens of colors including rich tones of red green

and washed outsays Link associate professor of chemistry at Rice and the lead researcher on the PNAS study. he key advancement here was to place the nanorods in an ordered array. lson says the array setup allowed her to tune the pixel s color in two

Olson s five-micron-square pixels are about 40 times smaller than the pixels used in commercial LCD displays.

To make the pixels she used aluminum nanorods that each measured about 100 nanometers long by 40 nanometers wide.

She used electron-beam deposition to create arrays regular arrangements of nanorods in each pixel.

She was able to fine-tune the color produced by each pixel by using theoretical calculations by Rice physicists Alejandro Manjavacas a postdoctoral researcher

and Link say the research team hopes to create an LCD display that uses many of the same components found in today s displays including liquid crystals polarizers and individually addressable pixels.

and the inherent directionality of the nanorods provides another advantage. ecause the nanorods in each array are aligned in the same direction our pixels produce polarized lighthe says. his means we can do away with one polarizer in our setup

and analyze data from our oceans in real timesays Tommaso Melodia associate professor of electrical engineering at the University at Buffalo

Land-based wireless networks rely on radio waves that transmit data via satellites and antennae. Unfortunately radio waves work poorly underwaterâ

For example NOAA relies on acoustic waves to send data from tsunami sensors on the sea floor to surface buoys.

The buoys convert the acoustic waves into radio waves to send the data to a satellite which then redirects the radio waves back to land-based computers.

but sharing data between them is difficult because each system often has a different infrastructure.

The new framework will solve that problem by transmitting data from existing and planned underwater sensor networks to laptops smartphones and other wireless devices in real time.

It may also help collect oceanographic data and monitoring pollution. The framework will encourage collaboration among researchers

Manly explains that neutrinos are notoriously difficult to study and the oscillation that the researchers seek can be mimicked by other processes.

The researchers have gathered now 3. 5 times more data and this transformation is established firmly. The probability that random statistical fluctuations alone would produce the observed excess of electron neutrinos is less than one in a trillion.

An analysis of the data from the Super-Kamiokande detector associated with the neutrino beam time from J-PARC reveals that there are more electron neutrinos (a total of 28 events) than would be expected (4. 6 events) without this new process.

#iphone artists help solve#fat finger#problem CARNEGIE MELLON (US) Using the data amassed with an iphone drawing game,

Adrien Treuille, associate professor of computer science and robotics, says the drawing assistance app is just one example of how Big data can be used to enhance drawing

The trick has been to create drawing databases large enough to leveragen obstacle that he and his research team surmounted with an iphone drawing game.

and the resulting database now includes more than 17,000 images, each with stroke-by-stroke information about how it was created. e are in the middle of a Big data revolution,

Treuille says. ee found that Big data can be used to do amazing things. But success is not inevitable;

you have to have the dataset first. With Drawafriend, wee found a way to use crowdsourcing to create this critical resource for a data-impoverished phenomenon.

Real-time correction In Drawafriend, players take turns drawing faces of celebrities or of mutual friends from Facebook.

Not only does it create a large database of drawing strokes the game motivates players to try to draw as best they can

The team used the database of celebrity photos to create a simple stroke-correction method.

By determining the consensus of the strokes from the database drawings, they found that they could cancel out the oisecaused by large fingers trying to draw on small screens.

but large databases have not been available to enable their use. Likewise, the correction function now used for sketches based on photos could be modified for freehand drawing.

To broaden the database the game could be modified to include drawings other than portrait sketches. Treuille says databases of drawings also could be used to address more basic questions.

Drawings often differ substantially in appearance from their real-life subjects, he notes, which suggests that databases of drawings could be mined for insights into human perception.

Such findings, in turn, might help in developing better object recognition or scene analysis for computer vision systems.

The databases also might be used to create teaching tools to improve the artistic techniques of students,
