The growing demand of wireless communication devices has taxed radio spectrum, resulting in a need to find alternatives. Researchers are fine-tuning technologies that use standard lighting equipment to cheaply transmit high-speed data streams wirelessly, even while the equipment appears to be producing nothing more than normal illumination. Generally, the technologies rapidly … [Read more...]

As seen in "MythBusters: James Bond Special I."Before James Bond sets out to fight drug lords in Live and Let Die, gadget guy Q arms him with a double-duty watch. The theory was that the time piece could emit an electromagnetic field strong enough to divert a bullet heading toward 007.Although Bond never puts the high-tech trinket to that use in the movie, the mythbusters built … [Read more...]

Storms are brewing about 93 million miles away, and if one of them reaches Earth, it could knock out communications, scramble GPS and leave thousands without power for weeks to months. It’s what's known as a solar storm, a flurry of charged particles that erupts from the sun. Under the right conditions, solar storms can create extra electrical currents in Earth's magnetosphere, … [Read more...]

Recently the Association of German Engineers (VDI) reported that there was an all time high of 76,400 vacant engineering jobs.A booming economy is one reason for the widening shortage of engineers. But a declining population and a steadily rising demand for developing sustainable mobility and energy solutions are also contributing to the problem."Demand for engineers will … [Read more...]

A new type of fish hook is said to reduce unintended shark catches by up to 94 percent.The SMART (Selective Magnetic and Repellent-Treated) Hook, created by New Jersey-based Shark Defense, is intended to repel sharks. The new hook is magnetic and coated in a metal that produces an electrical current when placed in seawater. Electromagnetic fields are known to confuse sharks' … [Read more...]

A group of physicists at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) led by Prof Shengwang Du reported the direct observation of optical precursor of a single photon and proved that single photons cannot travel faster than the speed of light in vacuum. HKUST's study reaffirms Einstein's theory that nothing travels faster than light and closes a decade-long debate … [Read more...]
