Showcasing the transport systems of the future
A revolutionary transport system called Hyperloop has recently been showcased at the CADENAS Industry Forum. Despite sounding like something from a science fiction movie, the project claims that it is capable of travelling the distance of Los Angeles to San Francisco in 35 minutes - a distance of around 570km - which equates to a speed of 1,125km/h.
Radiation-tolerant FPGAs assist launch of ten next-gen satellites
Provider of semiconductor solutions,Microsemi, has extended its congratulations to Iridium Communications, Thales Alenia Space, SpaceX and project subcontractors on the successful launch of the first ten Iridium NEXT satellites. Iridium NEXT is Iridium’s next-gen satellite constellation, replacing and enhancing its existing network of low-Earth orbit satellites spanning the globe. The project is leveraging more than 200,000 Microsemi device...
The coolest spot in the Universe
This summer, an ice chest-sized box will fly to the International Space Station, where it will create the coolest spot in the universe.Inside that box, lasers, a vacuum chamber and an electromagnetic "knife" will be used to cancel out the energy of gas particles, slowing them until they're almost motionless. This suite of instruments is called the Cold Atom Laboratory (CAL), and was developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif...
Satellite provides added resiliency to Iridium's network
Iridium Communications has announced that it has contracted with SpaceX for an eighth Falcon 9 launch. Along for the ride are the twin-satellites of the NASA/GFZ Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment Follow-On (GRACE-FO) mission, which will be deployed into a separate low-Earth orbit, marking the first rideshare deal for Iridium.

Virtual reality mid-air touchless haptic demo at VRX
Ultrahaptics has announced a Virtual Reality (VR) demo that showcases its mid-air touchless haptic technology. The unique demo is being unveiled at the VRX Conference & Expo in San Francisco (December 7th-8th).
Research reveals alternative to battery power storage
A piece of joint research between the University of Surrey, Augmented Optics, and the University of Bristol, has developed what the project believes to be a potentially transformational technology which could revolutionise the capabilities of appliances that have previously relied on battery power.
The space race is on
Man on the moon has already been a great achievement in our lifetimes; however for the first time in the history of space travel, a private enterprise will leave this world to explore another. The federal government will permit a US start up to send a robotic spacecraft to the moon next year, paving the way for the company to be the first non-government organisation to land on the moon.
