Carbon Nanotubes Less Electromagnetically-Sensitive than Current Systems, May Open Door to Growth of Quantum Computing

 

Physicists at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM) in Munich, Germany have demonstrated a way for nanotubes to store information in the form of vibrations, opening the door to the possibility of replacing traditional, but still mostly experimental, systems based on electrically charged particles held in an “electromagnetic trap” that require extensive shielding with … [Read more...]

Maine at the Forefront of National EMP Protection Debate

 

Recent legislation introduced in Maine has demonstrated the aggressive stance the state has adopted on a topic Washington remains reluctant to address—defending against the possibility of a natural or man-made electromagnetic pulse capable of disabling the country’s electrical grid system. Introduced by Rep. Andrea Boland, LD-131 was taken up by the Joint Standing Committee on … [Read more...]

French Fashion Label to Debut Electromagnetic Wave-Blocking Menswear

 

A French fashion label has announced the upcoming release of men’s suits reportedly capable of blocking electromagnetic waves produced by cell phones and other portable electronic devices. “This is the first [commercial] use of technological materials in everyday men’s clothing that doesn’t cause discomfort,” Benjamin Anin of Smuggler’s research and development department … [Read more...]

Autocatalytic Nickel over Autocatalytic Copper for Electromagnetic Shielding

 

From the International Standards Organization webstore: “ISO 17334:2008 specifies the requirements for autocatalytic nickel-phosphorus alloy coatings applied over autocatalytic copper coatings to provide electromagnetic interference (EMI) or electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection for parts fabricated from either plastics or metallic materials. ISO 17334:2008 does not apply … [Read more...]

Sistine Chapel Was Fitted with Faraday Cage, Electronic Jammers to Prevent Information Leak in Papal Election

 

Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina was named as Pope Benedict XVI’s successor late Wednesday evening by the College of Cardinals after two days of deliberations. Conforming with worldwide hope that the new pope will help usher in a new, more modern Catholic Church, Pope Francis I’s election process marked the first time electronic security measures were installed … [Read more...]
