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...]

Magnetic Field Cloak to Assist MRI Scanners and Medical Industry
Scientists from the Autonomous University of Barcelona have created a magnetic field cloak, or ‘wormhole,’ which could lead to better MRI scanning. “The wormhole allows a magnetic field to be transported across space but it is not the kind of cosmic tunnel popularised by science fiction. Rather, the magnetic field at one end of the wormhole appears at the other end as an … [Read more...]
Woman Claims Wi-Fi Causes Illness; French Court Grants Disability Allowance
A French court has granted Marine Richard, a woman who claims she is ‘allergic to Wi-Fi,’ £500 a month (about $764 U.S. dollars) in disability allowance. Richards claims she suffers from electromagnetic sensitivity and that exposure to Wi-Fi, mobile phones and televisions cause her extreme pain. According to Richard’s lawyers, she has been living away from society in a barn in … [Read more...]

Parents are suing Fay School, a boarding school in Southborough, Mass., over claims that the school’s Wi-Fi signal is making their 12-year-old son sick. According to the Worcester Telegram & Gazette, the parents claim their son has ‘Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity Syndrome’ and has suffered from nausea, nosebleeds and headaches since the school activated a stronger … [Read more...]
Company Introduces New Amplifiers at Symposium
TMD Technologies will introduce a new wide range of travelling wave tube amplifiers (TWTAs) for EMC HIRF testing at the IEEE EMC Symposium in Dresden. The TWTAs are compact, lightweight, affordable and offer high field strength. The amplifiers are ideal for use in numerous EMC testing and intermodulationg (PIM) testin applications as well as telecommunications, electronic … [Read more...]
Proposed Radio Tower Could Cause Health Risks
Washington state residents are against the proposed KRPI radio tower Whatcom County wants to put south of Point Roberts. Residents reportedly fear the radio tower would emit electromagnetic radiation and create serious health risks. “Recent cellular research has shown that our DNA suffers breaks in its strands with continuous exposure to EMR. Continuous exposure to EMR would … [Read more...]
