Wine, EM, and Oenophiles
The latest edition of New Scientist reports that help for budget–constrained wine lovers may be on the way. Work carried out by chemist Xin An Zeng at the South China University of Technology in Guangzhou holds promise for oenophiles around the globe. By passing a three-month old cabernet sauvignon through two titanium diodes and exposing the “vintage” to one, three, or eight … [Read more...]
Texas Officials Hope to Resolve Prison Phone Jamming Controversy
As this issue of the eNews was being prepared, Texas politicians and prison authorities were trying to sort out the dilemma of jamming illegal phone calls by incarcerated felons without running afoul of the 1934 federal law that bans interference with radio signals. Earlier this year, officials in South Carolina had conducted a successful test of a jamming device that … [Read more...]
