This past summer, as part of UPenn’s Summer Science Academy Program, 12 high school students along with James Aguirre, associate professor in the School of Arts & Sciences’ Department of Physics and Astronomy, turned an out-of-service TV satellite dish on the roof of the Enterprise Center in West Philadelphia into a 30-foot radio telescope. The telescope has been given the … [Read more...]
India Launches Space Observatory into Orbit to Study Electromagnetic Spectrum
On Monday, Sept. 28 at 12:30 a.m. EDT, The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) successfully launched seven satellites into orbit from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) in Sriharikota, India. One of the satellites is the country’s first ever space observatory. This mission, known as PSLV-C30, lasted about 23 minutes and 32 seconds. “The most important passenger of the … [Read more...]
First U.S. Public School District Limits Wi-Fi Radiation Exposure
Ashland, Massachusetts Public Schools have announced they will be reducing Wi-Fi radiation exposure to students and teachers via Wi-Fi Device “Best Practices.” “Spurred by parent Cecelia Doucette's concerns about the lack of safety data on Wi-Fi and children, the district investigated the issue and developed a policy to substantially reduce wireless exposures to students and … [Read more...]
Ground-penetrating Radar Uses Electromagnetic Radiation to Reveal ‘Super-Henge’
With the help of ground-penetrating radar, researchers have discovered that there are 90 large stones, known as Durrington Walls, hidden underground in a village near the famous Stonehenge monument in England. Archaeologist Vince Gaffney and his team announced this discovery at the British Science Festival in Bradford, England earlier this month. “Durrington Walls is about … [Read more...]
Canadian Police to Receive New Radio System after EMI Issues
Sault Ste. Marie Police are preparing for a new radio system, since their current system, which is 15 years old, experiences communication problems and constant radio frequency interference. However, police dispatchers still have problems ahead. “Motorola is phasing out support the console's main components. The withdrawal of assistance starts in 2016 and ends in 2018,” … [Read more...]
Invisibility Cloak to Improve Military Operations
A team of scientists from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) have developed a material that resembles an invisibility cloak. The material could change the face of military operations and would allow weapons and maybe even military personnel to function while undetected. UCSD scientists have tested the “first effective dielectric metasurface material—an ultra-thin, … [Read more...]
Apple’s First Electric Car to Surface in 2019
According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Apple plans to manufacture and ship an electric car within the next four years. “The report says Apple is moving forward after investigating options for more than a year, as well as recently meeting with government officials in California. The report also says that Apple's first vehicles may not be autonomous,” USA Today … [Read more...]

X-ray Prototype Uses Electromagnetic Waves to See Through Buildings
A team of researchers from the University of Sydney have developed an X-ray prototype that allows people to see through walls. The prototype uses electromagnetic waves to bounce information off walls, according to researchers. Successful trials of the device have just concluded. "We can then process the waves to retrieve the information we want. Then we reshape the wave so … [Read more...]
Scientific Inconsistency Noted in Electromagnetic Theory Breakthrough
The results of a study where scientists claim they found a missing link in electromagnetic theory, published by researchers from Cambridge University, was recently called into doubt. Scientists from ITMO University, Australian National University and Aalto University questioned this claim, according to Phys.org. “The study, conducted by the British scientists, was presented as … [Read more...]
