Heat from the top of your head radiates into space as infrared light. Now three Stanford engineers have developed a technology that improves on solar panel performance by exploiting this basic phenomenon.
the same trio of inventors developed an ultrathin material that radiated infrared heat directly back toward space without warming the atmosphere.
"because it shunted thermal energy directly into the deep, cold void of space. In their new paper, the researchers applied that work to improve solar array performance
in the form of infrared light, into space. Their experiments showed that the overlay allowed visible light to pass through to the solar cells,
Other research groups have teleported quantum information over longer distances in free space, but the ability to do so over conventional fiber-optic lines offers more flexibility for network design.
In these new devices, the'rice grains'have been glued together at random points forming a mesh-like structure with lots of open space
meaning light no longer behaves as a moving wave, traveling through space in a series of crests and troughs.

Simulations predict that an antenna placed near the holey surface could capture 10,000 to 100,000 times more thermal energy than an antenna in open space.
With a few key changes, the researchers used a noninvasive ultrasonic technique originally developed to detect microscopic flaws in solid fuel rockets, such as space shuttle boosters,

Arx Pax is partnering up with NASA to explore how its technology could be used to move around tiny satellites in space using the MFA technology.
In space, that's probably not a problem. The hover engine essentially creates"swirls of electricity"that form magnetic fields both within the hover engine and the conductive surface.
But in space, of course, the concept of"hovering"doesn't really apply. Instead, Arx Pax believes that using its tech to move around tiny objects in space will mean that they won't have to smack into each other
when they need to pair up. Arx Pax plans to co-develop a prototype with NASA over the course of the next couple of years
But in space, smaller pushes can have larger effects over time than they do under gravity.

The hippocampus enables us to navigate space securely and to form personal memories. So far the anatomic knowledge of the networks inside the hippocampus and its connection to the rest of the brain has left scientists guessing which information arrived where and when.
