Model 2180 covers 1 to 2.5 GHz and delivers an unprecedented 2 kW CW of broadband output power in a 8U, air cooled chassis, according to the company. “User interface capabilities of this amplifier that are standard with Empower next generation designs allow the user to initiate … [Read more...]
Physicists Trace Origin of Electromagnetic Interaction
An international group of physicists have traced the origin of an electromagnetic interaction to the Dirac Equation, which is a fundamental equation of quantum physics. “The new finding, published as a rapid communication in the journal Physical Review B, advances the fundamental understanding of magnetic systems as well as multiferroics, which can change their electrical … [Read more...]
Russia Developing Drone that can see through Camouflage and Detect Hidden Objects
United Instrument Manufacturing Corporation, a corporation based in Russia, is building an all-seeing eye drone fitted with tech-forward technology that allows it to see beyond the human eye’s electromagnetic spectrum, giving it the ability to detect both hidden and camouflaged objects. The drone will advance technology for all types of military equipment. “The unmanned aerial … [Read more...]
China Producing World’s Largest Radio Telescope
A large engineering and scientific project in China, led by the country’s military-led space program, is creating the world’s largest radio telescope, which will be able to detect radio signals from tens of billions of light years away. The Telescope is known as FAST, which stands for Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope. When the project is complete, the dish on 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...]
High School Students and UPenn Professor Build Radio Telescope in West Philadelphia
This past summer, as part of UPenn’s Summer Science Academy Program, 12 high school students along with James Aguirre, associate professor in the School of Arts & Sciences’ Department of Physics and Astronomy, turned an out-of-service TV satellite dish on the roof of the Enterprise Center in West Philadelphia into a 30-foot radio telescope. The telescope has been given the … [Read more...]
India Launches Space Observatory into Orbit to Study Electromagnetic Spectrum
On Monday, Sept. 28 at 12:30 a.m. EDT, The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) successfully launched seven satellites into orbit from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) in Sriharikota, India. One of the satellites is the country’s first ever space observatory. This mission, known as PSLV-C30, lasted about 23 minutes and 32 seconds. “The most important passenger of the … [Read more...]
