Despite being warned for decades, fliers are refusing to turn off electronic devices during takeoff and landing. USA Today’s investigation included reviewing “more than 25 papers by electronics experts; presentations; papers, and advisories by government aviation officials in the USA, Canada, and the United Kingdom and Europe” and they surveyed “more than 900 frequent fliers” … [Read more...]
Electromagnetic Waves Illuminated with Coffee Cans and LEDs
To show how EM is all around us, Dr. Gregory Chavat came up with a presentation using “a coffee can radar system, a couple of LEDs, and long-exposure photography.” His set up included a “radar emitter made out of one coffee can and a second can with a couple of LEDs attached to serve as a tethered receiver antenna.” He moved the receiver around the emitter while taking a long … [Read more...]

Experimental Magnetic Pulses May Help Heal A Brain After Stroke
Recent testing has found that placing electromagnetic coils against the scalp stimulates brain cells to “form new connections, allowing the brain to rewire itself to compensate for damage caused by a stroke.” In Italy, researchers looked at patients with hemispatial neglect, a common problem with stroke victims where they are “unable to see or recognize anything on one side of … [Read more...]
New Airport Body Scanner Software Increases False Alarms
France and Germany have decided to forgo the millimeter-wave scanners because of false alarms triggered by folds in clothing, buttons and even sweat. In Germany, the false positive rate was 54 percent, meaning that every other person who went through the scanner had to undergo at least a limited pat-down that found nothing. For the millimeter-wave machines, a complicating … [Read more...]

Designed for a broad audience, the document … [Read more...]
Newt Gingrich Warns of Threat of EMP Attack
In debates and speeches, interviews and a book, Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich is ringing alarm bells over the threat of what experts call the electromagnetic pulse (or EMP), a poorly understood phenomenon of the nuclear age. The idea is that if a nuclear weapon, lofted by a missile, were detonated in outer space high above the American heartland, it would set … [Read more...]
