A team of scientists has reported that ancient village burning rituals that took place during the Iron Age have provided evidence of what could have possibly caused the weakening of the magnetic field in South Africa. Scientists discovered that a hot and dense rock 2,000 miles beneath the surface that is 4 miles wide is the cause of Africa’s magnetic field weakening. “The … [Read more...]

Outdated 2G Mobile Phones Could be Used to Hack Computers
A team of computer security experts from Ben-Gurion University in Israel have discovered 2G mobile phones could hack air-gapped computers and steal data via radio frequency wireless electromagnetic waves and a GSM network. In order for this process to work properly, both the 2G phone and the targeted computer must have malware installed on them. “Computers naturally emit … [Read more...]
Electromagnetic Impulse Readings to Help Identify Possible Earthquakes
NASA has launched a software known as ‘Quest For Quakes,’ which is designed to spot electromagnetic pulses before earthquakes occur. “‘Quest For Quakes’ encourages individuals knowledgeable in writing software codes and devising algorithms to search for evidence that could back the theory of electromagnetic pulses preceding earthquakes,” according to researchers. The ‘Quest For … [Read more...]

Study Reveals Radiation from Solar Events Unlikely to Affect Earth
“In recent years, research has suggested congenital birth defects down on Earth's surface could be caused by these ‘solar particle events’ - spikes in cosmic rays from the sun that touch off the northern lights and sometimes hamper communications or the electric power grid,” according to Science Daily. Even though airplane crews at high altitudes are exposed to harmful levels … [Read more...]
NASA Captures Four-hour Solar Flare on Video
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured a solar flare and a coronal mass ejection (CME) on video on June 18. “The SDO has been studying the Sun since 2010 and captured this flare at multiple wavelengths, allowing it to show the ultraviolet light of the massive flare,” according to Mirror Online. The solar flare, which has been named “Spit of Satan,” lasted for four … [Read more...]
New Radio Telescope Detects Galaxy From 5 Billion Light Years Away
A new radio telescope in Western Australia, known as Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), has discovered PKS B1740-517 – a galaxy located more than 5 billion light years away. Six of the 36 dishes on the radio telescope captured signals emitted from PKS B1740-517. This discovery demonstrates that ASKAP can detect galaxies and signals that other telescopes … [Read more...]
Spaceship Antenna to Prevent Communication Blackouts
A team of scientists from the Harbin Institute of Technology proposed a new spaceship antenna to prevent space communication blackouts. The group’s research has been published in the Journal of Applied Physics. The new antenna can prevent communication blackouts in space when spacecraft are coming back into Earth’s atmosphere. “The proposed technique can maintain … [Read more...]
