Optical amplifier and record-sensitive receiver pave the way for faster space communication

Posted by in category: space

In space exploration, long-distance optical links can now be used to transmit images, films and data from space probes to Earth using light. But in order for the signals to reach all the way and not be disturbed along the way, hypersensitive receivers and noise-free amplifiers are required.

The world’s first ever electric hydrofoil ferry begins operations

Posted by in category: transportation

As Candela’s P-12 gracefully flew over the waterways in Stockholm this morning, the event marked the first-ever commercial operation of a hydrofoil electric ferry.

It’s been a long time coming for the P-12, with years of development resulting in the first images of the boat released over two years ago and testing getting started only last year.

Now the first Candela P-12 in commercial operation, named “Nova”, set out this morning from Tappström, quickly reaching its destination at Stockholm City Hall. The 15 km (9 mile) journey took just 30 minutes, or around half the time it normally takes by car or public transit.

Quantum Harmonic Oscillator Behavior at Room Temperature

Posted by in category: quantum physics

We are used to the notion of classical harmonic oscillators; these are oscillators fluctuating coherently-this is, symmetrically-around their equilibrium position, experiencing a restoring force F proportional to the displacement x following the relationship F = – kx, being k a positive constant commonly known in the mechanics of ideal springs.

If F is the only force acting on the system (which means there is no friction with the environment) the system is called a simple harmonic oscillator, and it undergoes a sinusoidal oscillations about the equilibrium point, with a constant amplitude and a constant frequency that does not depend on the amplitude.

In real life, for example in the case of a spring, we see a damped oscillation because it will decrease with time due to friction. So basically, the harmonic oscillation is a very useful idealization that allows to simplify many physical problems.
