Faster space communication with record-sensitive receiver

Space and time from Science Daily Feed - Wed, 10/30/2024 - 12:05pm
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. Now, researchers have created a system that, with a silent amplifier and record-sensitive receiver, paves the way for faster and improved space communication.

Complexity of tumors revealed in 3D

Matter and energy from Science Daily Feed - Wed, 10/30/2024 - 11:59am
A new analysis has revealed detailed 3D maps of the internal structures of multiple tumor types. These cancer atlases reveal how different tumor cells -- and the cells of a tumor's surrounding environment -- are organized, in 3D, and how that organization changes when a tumor spreads to other organs. The detailed findings offer scientists valuable blueprints of tumors that could lead to new approaches to therapy and spark a new era in the field of cancer biology, according to the researchers.
