Delivering High Speed Internet through Optical Fibers in Space
by Q3 Technologies Q3 Technologies - Building Quality into SoftwareIt’s #Monday, and we’re back with the latest science &
technology news around the globe. Let’s get started with the latest for today!
Delivering High Speed
Internet through Optical Fibers in Space
Although modern technology has brought a boost in global
internet speeds, we’ve seen many companies & startups trying to innovate in
this very domain. Made In Space – a company that operates a 3D Printer aboard
the International Space Station – plans to grow 100 meters of optical fiber in
a micro-gravity-based environment to check whether growing optical fiber in the
desolate environment could leak to better performance.
“Made In Space’s in-space manufacturing activities expand
the commercial envelope to making valuable goods there too. We believe in-space
manufacturing of goods valuable to people on Earth will soon drive significant
commercial activity in space, perhaps - one day creating a space-based economic
boom,” said Andrew Rush, CEO, Made In Space.
“The goal of this partnership is to combine our in-space
manufacturing expertise with Thorlabs’ optical fiber expertise in order to
rapidly develop microgravity-manufactured high-quality fiber and introduce it
into existing and new markets,” he added.
Convert Your Phone
into a Laptop using this Smartphone Shell
For some people, it is difficult to get comfortable using a
smartphone because of its portable nature. Now, people who want to convert
their smartphone into a laptop can do so with an amazing idea. With over
$730,000 in funding from crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, The Superbook is a
shell that can convert your smartphone into a full-featured laptop!
“You already do a lot on your smartphone: it's convenient,
portable, and holds all of your apps, files, and contacts. In fact, you could
accomplish a lot more with it, but are often held back by its small screen size
and limited mobile interface. That's why we created the Superbook - to remove
those restrictions and give you the freedom of using just one computer,” reads
the product’s Kickstarter page.
Isn’t it amazing? We’ve seen many recent advancements in the
software industry when talking about mobile application development in general.
But does it operate just like any other laptop? We had to investigate.
“At its core, the Superbook is a smart laptop shell that
provides a large screen, keyboard and multi-touch trackpad, 8+ hours of
battery, and phone charging capabilities. When plugged into your Android
smartphone, it launches our app to deliver the full laptop experience. All
features and capabilities of your new Android phone will be still be compatible
with your Superbook.”
