NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope team plans to expand the telescope’s range into the uncharted electromagnetic range, after the telescope’s more than three years in space. The Large Area Telescope (LAT) “scans the sky every three hours, continually deepening its portrait of the sky in gamma rays, the most energetic form of light.” Most visible light is between two and … [Read more...]
Terahertz Transmitter Generates Highest Frequency Attained by Microelectronic Device
Scientists from the TU Darmstadt’s Institute for Microwave Technology and Photonics in Germany have developed a resonance tunnel diode (RTD) allegedly capable of generating “the highest frequency ever attained by a microelectronic device.” The device measures less than a square millimeter and scientists theorize that it may be produced using conventional semiconductor-device … [Read more...]
LightSquared Owner Pitches Network Directly to FCC Staffers
CEO of Harbinger Capital Partners, a private investment firm that owns LightSquared, a wireless broadband carrier, made a pitch to the FCC to approve commercial services. If approved, the company could put out 40,000 cell towers over the country. The FCC gave LightSquared a conditional waiver in late January of last year, telling them they needed to fix the interference … [Read more...]
EMI Microwave Absorber Application Note
Laird Technologies, Inc. has published a new application note, "Q-Zorb™ Microwave Absorbers for Collision Avoidance System Applications."The application note examines how with the rise of wireless electronics and the movement to higher frequencies, microwave absorbers or "noise suppression sheets" (NSS) are now used to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) inside collision … [Read more...]
Researchers Quantify the Friction of Graphene
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology believe that stacking graphene, a sheet of carbon only one atom thick, can make it more slippery. Graphene slows down any object sliding over its surface and is able to be “folded, rolled or stacked” and is strong with unusual electronic and optical characteristics. This material can be used in “applications … [Read more...]

Uma Shankar, Secretary of Power, India Ministry of Power, will keynote GridWeek Asia, 16-18 January 2012 in Mumbai, India.Mr. Shankar is expected to cover the unique challenges faced by India's electrical infrastructure, given rapid population and GDP growth, … [Read more...]
Researchers Think Turin Shroud Imprints are from EM Energy
A team of experts in Enea, the National Agency for New Technologies and Energy say that the images of a crucified, bearded man on the Shroud of Turin could not “be reproduced by modern scientific techniques.” They believe that images were created by “some form of electromagnetic energy (such as a flash of light at short wavelength).” Their findings “contradicted carbon-dating … [Read more...]
Mexico’s Drug Cartels Use Encrypted DIY Radio Network
To avoid discovery, Mexican drug cartels have been using encrypted DIY radio networks, in nearly all 31 Mexican states, since 2006. Their communication devices are “‘professional-grade’ radio antennas, signal relays and simple handheld radios that ‘cost millions of dollars.’” Mexican authorities have not been successful in stopping their wireless communication. The Zetas, one … [Read more...]
Group of Swedish Researchers Seek to Improve Graphene Production
A new Swedish research grant will be given to Chalmers University of Technology, a sum of SEK 40 million, to research graphene. Thirty researchers from Chalmers and Uppsala and Linköping Universities will be collaborating in international graphene research to improve the material and make it easier to reproduce. They plan to “develop reliable synthesis methods” and then “the … [Read more...]
