Li-fi 100 times faster than Wi-fi

If you expect the faster Wifi connection, meaning much faster than is currently, may be this news worth listening to. Li-Fi will be a new technology for the data transmitting that is claimed 100x faster than Wi-Fi and this one uses the spectrum of light instead of radio frequencies.

In contrast to the Wi-Fi commonly using a router to deploy Wi-Fi signal, The Li-fi use light to transmit data with the help of an instrument called the Li-Flame Ceiling Unit and while to receive the signals using a device called the Li-Flame Desktop Units connected to a computer or notebook via a USB connection.

Li-Fi was today claimed to penetrate the speed of 1 Gbps but in theory this technology is capable of reaching speeds of 224 Gbps, in addition to fast, Li-Fi also safer of the radio frequency interference problem and more secure because the Li-Fi signal not spread like the Wi-Fi signal but rather focus in certain areas only.

Li-Fi also claimed to be more efficient in terms of costs of production compared with Wi-Fi and no less important, if the current problems the Wi-Fi signal is still a debate whether it can be detrimental to health or not, Li-Fi that use light or lights claimed to be very safe because it in this case the claim has been no lights can harm health in the long term.

But do not like it, because it uses light as the connection of course has limitations where we can often move would be a problem if the Li-Fi points not spread evenly in the room, it looks like Li-Fi better suited for an alternative to a LAN connection or Wi-Fi that has a position always the same as in the PC/notebook is on the desk.

To be able to use the technology LiFi there are at least 3 major additional devices, namely LED lamp, an internet connection and a photo detector. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | PURELIFI]

Mystery of disappearance of the feet of the snake finally revealed

Researchers who analyzed the fossil of a 90 million year old reptile found in Argentina on Friday, November 27, 2015 stated that they may have solved the puzzle of evolution of how snakes lost their legs.

According to the results of their study were published in the journal Science Advances, snakes lost their legs when their ancestors evolved to live and hunt in burrows, which still carried a lot of snakes until now.

Some scientists had previously argued that the absence of legs on a snake occurred because the snake must adapt to swim in the ocean, although the hypothesis generally accepted about the evolution of snakes is that their predecessors live in burrows in the mainland.

In the new study, the scientists used CT scans to examine the bones of the inner ear of Dinilysia patagonica, a two meter long reptile closely related to modern snakes. Then they build a virtual 3D models to compare the fosil's inner ear to modern snakes and lizards and found that the inner ear of the extinct snake has the hallmark of animals that live in burrows in the mainland.

Vestibule of the inner ear of Dinilysia patagonica was large and rounded, increased sensitivity to low frequency vibration, according to the researchers. Size of the front room in the ears similar to the size of the front of the ears of modern snakes to feel low frequency vibrations in the ground and similar to those found in the diggers species who use low-frequency vibrations in the ground to detect prey.

"How snakes lost their legs has long been a mystery to scientists, but it seems this happens when their ancestors became adept at digging," said the authors of the study, Hongyu Yi of the School of GeoSciences University of Edinburgh in a statement.

The researchers said the findings could help scientists fill in the gaps of the evolution of snakes story, and confirm that the Dinilysia patagonica as a the largest burrowing snake the world has ever known. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SCI-NEWS.COM]
