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...]
Researchers Investigate Millimeter Band Wave
Streaming services, games, cloud storage, as well as web conferencing and remote desktop services cause stress on conventional wireless networks. This creates a huge demand for wireless capacity that cannot be solved with increases to the existing spectrum. “Mobile broadband data demand will grow by a thousandfold between 2010 and 2020," Upamanyu Madhow, a professor in UC … [Read more...]
Researchers Construct New Power Interruption Technology
Korean Researchers have recently created the world’s first Mott device that reduces the size and improves the performance of traditional electromagnetic switches and circuit breakers. The research team has created a power interruption technology based on a Mott metal-insulator transition (Mott MIT) device. According to Phys.org, MIT devices can be applied to electromagnetic … [Read more...]
Flexible Material Controls Electronic Emissions and EMP
Conductive Composites, a company in Utah, has developed a flexible material that is thin and tough enough for wallpaper or woven fabric to keep electronic emissions in and electromagnetic pulses out. “Conductive Composites has created a method to layer nickel on carbon to form a material that’s light and moldable like plastic yet can disperse energy like a traditional metal … [Read more...]
UK Flights Delayed Due to Radio Interference
Recently, passengers from Edinburgh Airport in Scotland were delayed because of a technical issue with air traffic control. “It is understood the problem stemmed from ‘radio interference’ on frequencies used to speak to aircraft pilots – with the cause of the interference apparently resting on a faulty piece of equipment,” the Stornoway Gazette reported. According to a … [Read more...]
Navy to Expand EM Warfare Tools to include Undersea Advantages
The U.S. Navy plans to extend its electromagnetic warfare tools and capabilities by investing in longer-range targeting tools to help submarines operate effectively. “While the Navy has tried to achieve long-range targeting by submarines in the past and wasn’t able to overcome technology obstacles, we think we’re on the cusp of getting to it with our new technologies. But it’s … [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...]
Self-Driving Car Tested on I-95
Recently, the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute demonstrated its automated vehicle technology on the I-95 Express Lanes in Virginia. According to officials at the institute and an administrator at the U.S. Department of Transportation, it is the first time that driverless technology this advanced has been tested on a highway. The demonstration was highly controlled … [Read more...]
