Washington, October 3 : Computers that can be folded up to be put in the pocket and televisions sets that can be bended to view may soon be a reality, thanks to the efforts of researchers from Sony and the Max Planck Institute.

Published in the New Journal of Physics, a study conducted by the researchers heralds the beginning of a technological revolution for screen displays.

It demonstrates, for the first time, the possibility of bendable optically assessed organic light emitting displays, based on red or IR-A light upconversion.

Recently, the results of a study were published by Cisco, in which it explained the common mistakes due to which data was lost. The study emphasized on the difference between the behavioral risks of the employees that can vary by country and culture, but a common factor which exists is that data loss can be tracked by each of these risks, and could easily be made moderate through planning and management.

UshaComm, a part of Usha Martin Group, has informed that it has entered into an end user license pact with Telecom Fiji. 

Under the deal, Telecom Fiji will utilize UshaComm’s state-of-the-art billing system Unicorn, convergent mediation system Pegasus and interconnect billing & reconciliation system UIBS.  

Suva-based Telecom Fiji Limited (TFL) is the only provider of local and national (trunk) telephony services, and owns the sole public switched telephone network in Fiji.  

Washington, October 2 : Researchers and students from the University of Michigan in the US will design and build a satellite about the size of a loaf of bread, which will be deployed to study space weather.

Undergraduate and graduate students will be heavily involved in this Radio Aurora Explorer (RAX) project, led by the University of Michigan (U-M) and SRI International, a California-based independent research and technology development organization.

Washington, October 2 : Researchers at the University of Georgia (UGA) have developed a new forecasting method to predict clear air turbulence (CAT) that could make flights smoother in the future.

This method would be able to help pilots chart new courses around patches of rough but clear air that can turn a flight dangerous.

“Our new method allows superior forecasts for CAT beyond the tools that have been in use,” said John Knox, an assistant professor in the department of geography in UGA’s Franklin College of Arts and Sciences.

Washington, October 2 : Using a powerful radio telescope to peer into the early universe, a team of California astronomers has obtained the first direct measurement of a nascent galaxy’s magnetic field as it appeared 6.5 billion years ago, which has revealed that it is at least 10 times greater than the average value in the Milky Way.

Astronomers believe the magnetic fields within our own Milky Way and other nearby galaxies—which control the rate of star formation and the dynamics of interstellar gas - arose from a slow “dynamo effect.”

In this process, slowly rotating galaxies are thought to have generated magnetic fields that grew very gradually as they evolved over 5 billion to 10 billion years to their current levels.
