Many satellites. They can be as small as a wine bottle. The advent of small satellites marks a new era. There are a lot cheaper, but still provide important services. Planet labs is an earth Imaging Company in San Francisco that already uses many satellites to photograph the globe. Students throughout europe are learning to build the little devices. One class of small satellite, nano satellites. A team at berlins Technical University devised a project to deploy 4 of them to enable faster transfer of large amounts of data. They were launched 2 years ago. Small satellites have the potential to revolutionize earth monitoring, as well as global telecommunications. To start up, smart small satellite systems does what its name suggests. Its a cube sats can exchange precise information about their orientation so as to point in the desired direction. They cost tens of thousands of euros a piece in your tooth. It is the miniaturization of Electronic Components that enable such development to ly
Europe was split and impenetrable border divided east from west but one german entrepreneur refused to accept that could believe that science transcends board is he set up a prize awarded to Research Projects where scientists from eastern and western europe work together. Endowed with 1000000 euros the cover price remains to this day one of the most prestigious and lucrative science awards in europe this year it went to a 100 gary a neuroscientist based in switzerland. Boston is a city constantly on the move. Full of colors and contrast. Shades dimensions and perspectives. We perceive them with our eyes. But this window to the world closes for people who lose them so. Reopening that window is the foremost goal of the institute of molecular and clinical ophthalmology. Here medical scientist a boat on tosca is working on ways of giving blind people back their eyesight. My main goal is to understand vision and to use this understanding to create new treatments for blinding diseases. While
