Scientists Build Optical Databus Capable of Tbps Transfers
IBM's new prototype 48-way optical databus takes up just 3 mm of width on a PCB, and is capable of a truly ridiculous data rate of around 8 Tbps. That's roughly 5,000 high-definition video streams per second, even if better has been done on fiber. Even better, this "green optical link" is a hundred times more power efficient than conventional electronic connections, so the environment benefits too. More »

Check out this video of Blue Angel #5 shot last week at Fleet Week in San Francisco. It's a Boeing F/A-18 Hornet jet aircraft flying about 25 feet above the surface of the water, and creating what's called a Prandtl-Glauert condensation cloud. Not only is this jet jockey flying perilously close to the edge of the earth's surface, he also might be flying close to the edge of the speed of sound. If so, it's a good thing he didn't go just a little bit faster, or he would have broken every window in the vicinity with a huge sonic boom. More »

Dual-blade Helicopter Breaks Chopper Speed Barrier
Helicopters aren't known for their speed, which is why Sikorsky Aircraft is working on a chopper prototype with two sets of blades instead of one. The blades, which would spin in opposite directions, would create equal amounts of lift on both sides of the chopper. More »
