A security expert has reported that data can be hacked and transmitted by using sound waves. “Attackers could make use of the physical elements of common input/output circuits - not only in computers but in printers, aircon units, and all kinds of other devices - by vibrating them at a pre-decided frequency. Effectively, they would be turned into radios,” Reuters reported. … [Read more...]
African Village Burning Rituals Help Identify Reason for Magnetic Field Weakening
A team of scientists has reported that ancient village burning rituals that took place during the Iron Age have provided evidence of what could have possibly caused the weakening of the magnetic field in South Africa. Scientists discovered that a hot and dense rock 2,000 miles beneath the surface that is 4 miles wide is the cause of Africa’s magnetic field weakening. “The … [Read more...]
Outdated 2G Mobile Phones Could be Used to Hack Computers
A team of computer security experts from Ben-Gurion University in Israel have discovered 2G mobile phones could hack air-gapped computers and steal data via radio frequency wireless electromagnetic waves and a GSM network. In order for this process to work properly, both the 2G phone and the targeted computer must have malware installed on them. “Computers naturally emit … [Read more...]
Testing Reveals Microwaves May Launch Aircraft into Space
A team of researchers from Escape Dynamics in Colorado have announced test results indicate microwaves might be able to launch space planes into space, which would allow for a single stage spacecraft. If this idea works, it would significantly reduce costs, because sending satellites and humans into orbit is typically very expensive. “Today's rockets are all based on the same … [Read more...]
Astronomers Unveil View of Galaxy’s Electromagnetic Loop
This week at the National Astronomy Meeting (NAM 2015) in Wales, scientists working with the Planck Satellite, including Mike Peel and Paddy Leahy, revealed a new polarization map of the Milky Way in microwaves. This particular view of the electromagnetic loop discovered more than half of a century ago, has never been seen before. “It’s a full sky map showing synchrotron loops … [Read more...]
New Radio Telescope Detects Galaxy From 5 Billion Light Years Away
A new radio telescope in Western Australia, known as Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), has discovered PKS B1740-517 – a galaxy located more than 5 billion light years away. Six of the 36 dishes on the radio telescope captured signals emitted from PKS B1740-517. This discovery demonstrates that ASKAP can detect galaxies and signals that other telescopes … [Read more...]
‘Unstoppable’ New Hacking Device Steals Encryption Keys Out of the Air
A group of researchers from Tel Aviv University and the Israeli research center have produced a new hacking device that can steal encryption keys “out of the air.” The device cannot be stopped by disabling Wi-Fi networks or turning off Bluetooth because the device doesn’t use standard communication methods to steal data. The device uses radio waves emitted from computer … [Read more...]
Canted Coil Catalog Describes Benefits for EMI/RFI Shielding
Bal Seal Engineering, Inc. released a new 10-page catalog that describes the benefits of canted coil springs for EMI/RFI Shielding. It “provides engineers and designers with detailed information about how canted coil springs can be used to address electromagnetic interference/radio-frequency interference (EMI/RFI) shielding challenges. It describes how the compact, … [Read more...]
High-purity Germanium Detectors Announced
The ORTEC Products Group, a unit of AMETEK Inc., announced its new ‘SP’ series of P-type high-purity Germanium (HPGe) Detectors. The detectors provide advanced resolution at low medium energies for demanding applications, such as radiation detection. “Profile “SP” Series HPGe detectors uniquely employ a low noise back-contact combined with a semi-planar crystal geometry. … [Read more...]
New Ceramic Disc Capacitors Save Space and Increase Reliability
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. announced its new VYI Series of AC-line-rated ceramic disc safety capacitors. The capacitors offer reduced sizes, increased reliability and higher pulse strength up to 10 kV. The VYI Compact Series offers body diameters of 7.5 mm. “Featuring Y5U ceramic dielectrics, the VY1 Compact series is optimized for RFI and AC line filtering applications in … [Read more...]
