A relatively new company, known as SafeSleeve, produces cellphone and laptop covers that reportedly prevent radiation exposure to people. “Their first product was a laptop case, which uses military-grade materials to prevent radiation waves from emitting to the body. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certified their research reducing electromagnetic radiation up to … [Read more...]
‘EM-Sense’ Technology Developed for Smartwatches
Recently, Carnegie Mellon University and Disney Research developed a new technology that could allow smartwatches to recognize what objects users are touching. “The technique, called EM-Sense, takes advantage of the body's natural electrical conductivity to detect whether a person is touching an electrical or electromechanical device and, based on the distinctive … [Read more...]
French Security Firm: Hackers use Radio Waves to Hijack Smartphones
Security researchers have reportedly discovered that hackers can use radio waves to hijack data on Android smartphones and iPhones through Google Now and Siri. Hackers accomplish this by sending radio waves to the devices and tricking users into sending them information by responding to voice commands. “According to French security firm ANSSI, which made the discovery, the … [Read more...]
NASA Supports 3D Printed Robotic Hand with Stretchable Optical Sensors
A team of researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have developed a 3D printed, three-fingered robotic hand with fiber optical sensors that are stretchable. The hand is able to detect forces that are less than a tenth of a newton. “Using fiber optics, the team of researchers placed 14 strain sensors into each of the robot’s fingers, which are closely modeled on the skeletal … [Read more...]
‘Electrosmog’ to Help Power Devices in UK
Paul Drayson, a former British science minister, has developed a device that captures “electrosmog” (invisible clouds of electromagnetic radiation), and uses it to power small devices. The energy-harvesting system is known as Freevolt. Freevolt uses an antenna to gain power from multiple wavebands of the electromagnetic spectrum. This is the first commercial device that is … [Read more...]
First U.S. Public School District Limits Wi-Fi Radiation Exposure
Ashland, Massachusetts Public Schools have announced they will be reducing Wi-Fi radiation exposure to students and teachers via Wi-Fi Device “Best Practices.” “Spurred by parent Cecelia Doucette's concerns about the lack of safety data on Wi-Fi and children, the district investigated the issue and developed a policy to substantially reduce wireless exposures to students and … [Read more...]
Apple’s First Electric Car to Surface in 2019
According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Apple plans to manufacture and ship an electric car within the next four years. “The report says Apple is moving forward after investigating options for more than a year, as well as recently meeting with government officials in California. The report also says that Apple's first vehicles may not be autonomous,” USA Today … [Read more...]
Kazakhstan Factory Produces School Uniforms that Protect Against Electromagnetic Radiation
A factory in Kazakhstan is sewing school uniforms that reportedly protect wearers from electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones. The uniforms are produced in the Almaty region but can also be purchased in Astana, Karaganda and Moscow. “Kids nowadays are very tech savvy and spend too much time with their phones,” Aigul Naushabayeva, mother of a 12-year-old daughter, told … [Read more...]
3D Printing Can Add Circuitry
Researcher Michael Perrone is currently testing a prototype of one of the world’s most advanced 3D printers, which was built by a startup company known as Voxel8. The 3D printer is not on the market yet, but it can produce small objects out of plastic while simultaneously adding circuitry to them. The printer was produced last month in a lab at Harvard University. During … [Read more...]
High-tech Highways Could Charge Electric Cars While Driving
The United Kingdom is currently testing technology that would allow high-tech highways to recharge electric cars as users are driving. “The U.K. has already tested a bunch of different approaches to this technology and identified versions that work and are ready to manufacture. In basic terms, the system has power lines connected to coils under the surface of a road, which … [Read more...]
