Researchers in the US and Netherlands have managed to transmit data at 255Tbps across a single strand of fiber cable over a kilometer, about 2,500 times faster than any commercial fiber. They used a so-called multicore cable with seven separate channels, but the hardware alone didn’t account f

Stupid hipster 80s fetishism notwithstanding, cassette tapes don’t get much love. That’s a shame, because magnetic tape is still a surprisingly robust way to back up data. Especially now: Sony just unveiled tape that holds a whopping 148 GB per square inch, meaning a cassette could hold
If there’s one thing you should know about Engadget, it’s that we absolutely love lasers. And thanks to the University of Arizona and University of Central Florida, our favorite pulsating form of light might soon find a much less destructive purpose, than say on Navy ships, anti-missile
It has grown apparent to NASA scientists, if human beings are ever going to colonize the Moon or Mars, it begins with the vital production of water and oxygen. Mars, a planet rich with carbon-dioxide has the potential to reform its volatile atmosphere to a life-sustaining, earth-like atmosphere. The
