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...]
High Power Coaxial Limiters Handle up to 200 Watts
Fairview Microwave Inc. announces a new family of broadband, high power coaxial limiters that protect sensitive components and RF receivers that are close to high power signals. Depending on the model, the limiters operate on frequencies ranging from 0.5 GHz to 40 GHz. The limiters also offer seven different design options, a low leakage power of 10 to 15 dBm and limited … [Read more...]
Report: Data can be Hacked Via Sound Waves
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...]
Electromagnetic Catapult Successfully Installed on Aircraft Carrier
The Navy’s new electromagnetic catapult, the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System, (EMALS) has successfully been installed on the USS Gerald R. Ford, replacing the steam catapults previously used to launch aircraft. Because EMALS yields less maintenance, more control, more reliability and a lighter weight, the Navy decided it will be used on all future aircraft carriers in … [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Outdated 2G Mobile Phones Could be Used to Hack Computers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...]
Company Adds DC Regenerative Sink Option to Power Sources
AMETEK Programmable Power announces it has added the ability to sink and regenerate DC current to its RS and MX Series Power Sources. This new option will significantly reduce operating costs. “The addition of this option to an RS or MX Series power source with AC Sink installed allows users to source and sink both AC and DC currents at up to 100 percent of the source's rated … [Read more...]
Study Reveals Radiation from Solar Events Unlikely to Affect Earth
“In recent years, research has suggested congenital birth defects down on Earth's surface could be caused by these ‘solar particle events’ - spikes in cosmic rays from the sun that touch off the northern lights and sometimes hamper communications or the electric power grid,” according to Science Daily. Even though airplane crews at high altitudes are exposed to harmful levels … [Read more...]
New Waveguide Detectors Cover Frequency Ranges from 26.5 to 110 GHz
Pasternack introduces new high performance waveguide detectors that cover frequency ranges from 26.5 to 110 GHz. The detectors are zero biased and perform the best in KA, Q, U, V, E and W frequency bands. Because the detectors are zero biased, no external DC bias or mechanical tuning is needed. The detectors also offer a rugged steel construction, high thermal stability, … [Read more...]
