A new agreement will create an open-source software ecosystem to support government technology research and development.
The booster appeared to miss the landing pad of the companyâs droneship in the Atlantic Monday night.
SpaceX, Amazon, OneWeb and others want to bring high-speed internet to every part of the world. But experts worry this could cost space exploration.
Researchers unlocked the electronic properties of graphene by folding the material like origami paper.
Researchers have found a way to use light and a single electron to communicate with a cloud of quantum bits and sense their behavior, making it possible to detect a single quantum bit in a dense cloud.
The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, were able to inject a âneedleâ of highly fragile quantum information in a âhaystackâ of 100000 nuclei. Using lasers to control an electron, the researchers could then use that electron to control the behavior of the haystack, making it easier to find the needle. They were able to detect the âneedleâ with a precision of 1.9 parts per million: high enough to detect a single quantum bit in this large ensemble.
The technique makes it possible to send highly fragile quantum information optically to a nuclear system for storage, and to verify its imprint with minimal disturbance, an important step in the development of a quantum internet based on quantum light sources. The results are reported in the journal Nature Physics.
A test booster for ULAâs next-generation Vulcan rocket arrived at Cape Canaveral early Saturday, just SpaceX prepared for its next launch late Sunday.
For companies and governments, the stakes couldnât be higher. The first to develop and patent 6G will be the biggest winners in what some call the next industrial revolution. Though still at least a decade away from becoming reality, 6G â which could be up to 100 times faster than the peak speed of 5G â could deliver the kind of technology thatâs long been the stuff of science fiction, from real-time holograms to flying taxis and internet-connected human bodies and brains.
Most of the world is yet to experience the benefits of a 5G network, but the geopolitical race for the next big thing in telecommunications technology is already heating up. For companies and governments, the stakes couldnât be higher.
Whether toting the neighborhood kids home after soccer practice or loading up for a road trip, SUVs offer the ultimate in vehicle utility. If youâre in the market for an electric SUV though, the options are both few and pricey. Unless of course you head on over to the coolest little corner of the web, the electric vehicle market on Alibaba.

Canadian YouTuber Linus SebastiĂĄn reviewed SpaceXâs Starlink Internet on his Linus Tech Tips channel (video below). SpaceX currently operates approximately 1085 internet-beaming Starlink satellites in low Earth orbit that will be part of a constellation of over 4400 satellites designed to connect the planet to the world wide web. To connect to space-based internet Starlink customers use a dish antenna and Wi-Fi router device. The company says the dish antenna is more advanced than what is currently in-use aboard fighter jets. The dish features a phased-array antenna, capable of transmitting and receiving signal from all directions as the satellites move across the sky. This week SpaceX started to accept preorders of the service via Starlink.com.
Linus Tech Tips created a great review video in which he tests Starlinkâs speed and also talks about important aspects of the Starlink constellation, including a brief discussion on how the network works. In the video, Linus unboxes the Starlink Kit that costs $499USD, it includes a dish antenna, mounting equipment, power supply, and Wi-Fi router/modem device. The Starlink broadband internet service has no data cap, priced at $99USD per month. Linus and his team install the dish outdoors on top of the roof and connect to the network. First, he used the service to play multiple 4K YouTube videos at once, with good results. He just noticed a small lag when trying to load YouTube thumbnails and comments as four high-definition videos played simultaneously. Then Linus ran an online speed test, Starlink provided him with internet download speed of around 138 megabits per second (Mbps) and latency of 27 milliseconds (ms).
