Muammar el-Qaddafi and the formal end to the uprising that ended his nearly 42 years in power.MultimediaLibya’s Transitional National Council’s members voted to name Abdel Rahim el-Keeb as prime minister, whom … [Read more...]
Researchers Investigate New Technique to Stop Steel Corroding
Researchers at the University of Hertfordshire are looking into how applying electromagnetic fields (EMF) of high intensity to steel can protect against corrosion.Dr Andreas Chrysanthou and Dr Anatoli Babutskyi at the University’s School of Engineering and Technology have been awarded €278,680 for a two-year FP7 Marie Curie International Incoming Fellowship (IIF) project to … [Read more...]
Radar Array Sees Through Walls
MIT’s Lincoln Lab researchers have built a system that can see through walls from some distance away, giving an instantaneous picture of the activity on the other side. The researchers’ device is an array of antenna arranged into two rows — eight receiving elements on top, 13 transmitting below — and some computing equipment, all mounted onto a movable cart. But it has powerful … [Read more...]
Strawberry-Picking Robots Reduce Waste
National Physical Laboratory (NPL) scientists have developed an imaging technology that can identify the ripeness of strawberries before they are picked. NPL's new technology uses radio frequencies, microwaves, terahertz and the far-infra red. These four parts of the electromagnetic spectrum all have potential to safely penetrate the crop layers and identify whether the crop … [Read more...]
Institute Opens Range for Antenna and Radar Cross Section Measurements
The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) has opened a new compact range that will be used for radar cross section measurements and antenna testing. The new facility, which is shielded against electromagnetic interference, will be used for GTRI’s defense-related research projects and collaborations with outside organizations.The facility has a test zone that is approximately … [Read more...]
Test Instrument Vendor Joins TD Industry Alliance
Aeroflex Limited has been granted non-council membership status to the TD Industry Alliance. TDIA is a trade group promoting mobile communications enterprises based on TD-SCDMA and TD-LTE, international telecommunications standards proposed by China. Aeroflex is one of the first global test and measurement instrument vendors to become a member of TDIA. Aeroflex’s TD test … [Read more...]
Two New Electromagnetic Titles
SciTech Publishing is introducing two new titles. “Electromagnetic Measurements in the Near Field, 2nd Ed” by Pawel Bienkowski & Hubert Trzaska outlines the fundamental principles and the procedures to ensure your tests and results contain the most accurate measurements possible. “Integral Equation Methods for Electromagnetics” by John Volakis & Kubilay Sertel is a … [Read more...]
Researchers Find Nanomechanical Resonators Can Operate at Higher Amplitudes
New research by engineers at the Yale School of Engineering & Applied Science demonstrates that nanomechanical resonators can operate at much higher amplitudes than previously thought. The results represent an advance in optomechanics, in which the force of light is used to control mechanical devices. The findings could have implications for future communications and … [Read more...]
Study Shows Cell Phones Exceed Exposure Limits by Double for Children
A scholarly article on cell phone safety reports the finding that cell phones used in the shirt or pants pocket exceed FCC exposure guidelines and that children absorb twice as much microwave radiation from phones as do adults.The paper notes that the industry-designed process for evaluating microwave radiation from phones results in children absorbing twice the cell phone … [Read more...]
