The ORTEC Products Group, a unit of AMETEK Inc., announced its new ‘SP’ series of P-type high-purity Germanium (HPGe) Detectors. The detectors provide advanced resolution at low medium energies for demanding applications, such as radiation detection. “Profile “SP” Series HPGe detectors uniquely employ a low noise back-contact combined with a semi-planar crystal geometry. … [Read more...]
Ultra-fast Scanning Microscope Introduced
Keysight Technologies introduces the Keysight 9500 AFM System, a new ultrafast-scanning 95000 atomic force microscope. The new system offers new integrated software, a high-bandwidth digital controller and a compact mechanical design. It has ultrafast scan rates up to 2 sec/frame (256x256 pixels) and an auto drive feature that saves users time by automatically setting … [Read more...]
Spaceship Antenna to Prevent Communication Blackouts
A team of scientists from the Harbin Institute of Technology proposed a new spaceship antenna to prevent space communication blackouts. The group’s research has been published in the Journal of Applied Physics. The new antenna can prevent communication blackouts in space when spacecraft are coming back into Earth’s atmosphere. “The proposed technique can maintain … [Read more...]
Saharan Ants Control Electromagnetic Waves to Stay Cool
A joint project conducted by Columbia University, The University of Washington and the University of Zürich indicates how Saharan Silver Ants stay cool in one of the hottest climates in the world. The team’s research paper titled ‘Saharan Silver Ants Keep Cool by Combining Enhanced Optical Reflection and Radiative Heat Dissipation’ was recently published in Science … [Read more...]
Fluid Operated Computer uses Electromagnetic Fields to Perform Operations
A group of engineers from Stanford University have produced the first ever water operated computer. The computer uses electromagnetic fields to pump water droplets impregnated with magnetic nanoparticles into gates to perform complex logical operations. Manu Prakash, a Stanford assistant professor, spent almost an entire decade thinking about the possibility of a … [Read more...]
Blog Asks: Are Cell Phones Harmful to Human Health?
Electromagnetic radio frequencies emitted from cell phones and other electronic devices remains a topic of debate due to possible health concerns. Cell phones produce low levels of non-ionizing radiation. Thus far, “extensive research into the health effects of these devices has only produced inconclusive evidence,” according to VOA News. The wireless industry and other … [Read more...]
Woman Fights Cancer with Electric Fields
Elizabeth Marek, a mother of two from St. Louis Missouri, has a deadly form of brain cancer known as Glioblastoma, which has no cure and a life expectancy of two years after diagnosis. A small tumor was found in her brain after she started experiencing aggressive headaches, and surgeons at Washington University removed the tumor in an emergency surgery. Eventually, a second … [Read more...]
Electromagnetic Fields Could Delay Alzheimer’s Disease in Rats
A team of researchers in China have published a study that suggests exposure to extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF) delays the development of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) in rats. The study, titled “Improvement of Spatial Memory Disorder and Hippocampal Damage by Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields in an Alzheimer’s Disease Rat Model” was published in the … [Read more...]
U.S. Air Force Verifies Electromagnetic Pulse Weapon
The Boeing Company has developed an electromagnetic pulse weapon that can target and destroy specific electronic systems in buildings. The weapon was specifically designed to target certain buildings without causing collateral damage or injuries. Previously, this technology was only available to Hollywood screenwriters; this technology is portrayed in Warner Brother’s “Ocean’s … [Read more...]
University’s Light Rail Yields Potential Electromagnetic Interference to Expensive Lab Equipment
A University of Minnesota light rail reportedly causes electromagnetic radiation and vibrations, which could disturb university research in chemistry and medical departments, the Minnesota Daily reported. For more than a year, Metro Transit and the Metropolitan Council have attempted to reduce the electromagnetic disturbances from the Green Line Light Rail. The University of … [Read more...]
