Twisted light transmits more data


Spiral beams allow multiple information streams in one cable

A new fiber-optic cable that seamlessly shuttles multiple beams of light simultaneously could drastically speed data transfer over the Internet.
“It’s like having more fibers without actually laying more fibers,” says Andrew Weiner, a physicist at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana.

Voyager 1 on fast track toward interstellar space


                                 
More than 35 years after launch, the probe finally nears the solar system's edge.  Voyager 1 is illustrated merging onto the "magnetic highway" at the solar system's edge.

The Voyager 1 space probe has merged into a newly discovered zone at the solar system’s edge, and scientists think the craft’s next destination could be interstellar space. Measurements from Voyager’s erratic transition, presented at a meeting in December (SN: 1/12/13, p. 17) and in the June 27 Science, reveal  that the probe no longer encounters particles emanating from the sun. But Voyager 1 still feels the effects of the sun’s spiral magnetic field. Voyager team scientists think this realm could represent the last leg of Voyager’s journey out of the solar system.
A change in the orientation of the magnetic field will likely herald the probe’s entry into interstellar space. When this will happen “is anybody’s guess,” says  Leonard Burlaga, a Voyager team member at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. But the timing of another Voyager milestone is certain: The plutonium that powers the spacecraft’s instruments will run out in 2020. The team hopes the probe will escape the solar system before then, Burlaga says. “We're looking forward to seeing that interstellar medium.”
