This week, the NASA began to worry about the spacecraft Voyager 1. The probe has been in space for almost half a century. However, scientists became very scared soon after the lone probe began sending messages that were different from usual. “She basically stopped talking to us coherently”, said the project manager at Voyager, Suzanne Dodd, to NPR. “It’s a serious problem“.

A Voyager 1, in particular, which is currently floating beyond the defined edge of the solar system, some 15 billion miles away, appears to be in a worse state of wear. This is because it started to no longer send binary code over billions of kilometers. Faced with the problem, the NASA is trying to restart the old probe, but has not been successful yet.

“The button you press to open your car door has more computing power than Voyager spacecraft“, he said Dodd to NPR. “It is remarkable that they continue to fly and have been flying for over 46 years. [Estamos tentando] get inside the heads of the original developers and find out why they designed something the way they did”, stated the project manager.

TECHNOLOGY BEYOND NASA!

Shortly after the study published in Science Advances, researchers observed important developments in quantum computing. Thus, a quantum coherence of a quintet state with four electron spins in molecular systems came to light for the first time at room temperature. This makes clear the ability of a system to maintain a well-defined state over time.

The group of researchers was led by Nobuhiro Yanai, Faculty of Engineering, Kyushu University. He had the collaboration of Kiyoshi MiyataKyushu University and Yasuhiro Kobori, from Kobe University. Both reported that the discovery was possible by incorporating a chromophore – a dye molecule that absorbs light and heat – into a metal-organic structure.
