Smart Meters Create Concerns About Privacy
Recently in Michigan, DTE Energy has installed over two million Smart Meters, which are wireless boxes that can measure and report energy and electricity usage through radio frequency waves. The meters can be useful during power outages and harsh storms – the meters will alert officials of power losses and electricity will be restored faster. However, Michigan residents are … [Read more...]
Sunspot Could Create Solar Flares and Superstorm
A sunspot, big enough to fit 10 Earths inside of it, known as Active Region 12192 has just aligned with Earth and could cause major problems. This sunspot is the largest to be seen in over 24 years. The sunspot began facing Earth in October and created six eruptions; however, it did not create any coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The sunspot then disappeared for two weeks before … [Read more...]

MIT Researchers Develop Power-conserving Chip for Smartphones
Researchers from Eta Devices at MIT have developed a power-conserving chip believed to increase battery life in smartphones. The technology will allow batteries to last twice as long and work to conserve energy in cell towers. Batteries drain so quickly because power amplifiers typically stay at maximum voltage at all times, even when devices are not being used. The new chip … [Read more...]
New Field Generator Introduced to Industry
DARE!! Instruments presents its patented RadiField Triple A – a cost effective and efficient field generator. This RadiField Triple A is “no less than a revolution in EMC immunity testing,” according to researchers. Typically, immunity testing setups are complicated and involve an amplifier, coupler, RF power meters, interconnecting cables and a combiner; however, the … [Read more...]
