Programmer Hacks Own Wi-Fi Using Electromagnetic Waves
Jason Cole, a programmer and Ph.D. student at Imperial College in London, created an Android app that allows users to hack their own Wi-Fi using electromagnetic waves. Many believe it’s best to avoid electromagnetic radiation; however, not all believe electromagnetic waves are bad. Electromagnetic waves carry Wi-Fi signals to all electronic devices and are the foundation of … [Read more...]
Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor Increases Capacitance by 50 Percent
The first commercially available X5R/X6S 330μF multilayer ceramic capacitor has been produced by TAIYO YUDEN. Compared to the previous products, in the same size capacitor, capacitance increases by more than 50 percent. This capacitor was designed to replace electrolytic capacitors and to reduce noise and smooth ripple current in power supply circuits. It offers longer product … [Read more...]
