Can cell phone signals help planes navigate without GPS?
- Researchers from Sandia National Laboratories and Ohio State University are testing a backup system to help aircraft navigate when GPS signals are lost.
- The system uses signals from cell towers and non-GPS satellites as a backup to guide planes safely in situations where GPS is unavailable or compromised.
- The team conducted experiments using antennas attached to a weather balloon floating 80,000 feet above New Mexico.
- Preliminary findings indicate that the alternative signals, if strong enough, could provide important assistance to GPS and improve air travel safety.

Revolutionary cooling material could slash data center energy costs by 65%
- Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a new cooling material called a 'thermal interface material' that efficiently moves heat away from electronic devices.
- This breakthrough could lead to significant energy savings in data centers, which currently consume around 40% of their total energy for cooling.
- In tests, the new cooling material demonstrated the ability to remove 2,760 watts of heat from a small area and potentially reduce the energy needed for cooling pumps by up to 65%.
- The researchers are now working to scale up production and test the cooling material in real data centers, aiming to lower energy costs and reduce the environmental impact of data centers globally.
