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
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.”
