An international group of physicists have traced the origin of an electromagnetic interaction to the Dirac Equation, which is a fundamental equation of quantum physics. “The new finding, published as a rapid communication in the journal Physical Review B, advances the fundamental understanding of magnetic systems as well as multiferroics, which can change their electrical … [Read more...]
China Producing World’s Largest Radio Telescope
A large engineering and scientific project in China, led by the country’s military-led space program, is creating the world’s largest radio telescope, which will be able to detect radio signals from tens of billions of light years away. The Telescope is known as FAST, which stands for Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope. When the project is complete, the dish on the … [Read more...]
‘Electrosmog’ to Help Power Devices in UK
Paul Drayson, a former British science minister, has developed a device that captures “electrosmog” (invisible clouds of electromagnetic radiation), and uses it to power small devices. The energy-harvesting system is known as Freevolt. Freevolt uses an antenna to gain power from multiple wavebands of the electromagnetic spectrum. This is the first commercial device that is … [Read more...]
High School Students and UPenn Professor Build Radio Telescope in West Philadelphia
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...]
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...]
‘Radiogate’ Controversy in First NFL Game – Pittsburgh Experienced EMI in Helmets
Last night, during the NFL season opener in New England between the New England Patriots and the Pittsburgh Steelers, a technology malfunction reportedly caused the Patriot’s radio broadcast to air on the headsets of the Steelers’ coaches during the entire first half of the game. The nickname ‘Radiogate’ has surfaced – a play on the Patriot’s previous ‘Deflategate’ controversy … [Read more...]
Kazakhstan Factory Produces School Uniforms that Protect Against Electromagnetic Radiation
A factory in Kazakhstan is sewing school uniforms that reportedly protect wearers from electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones. The uniforms are produced in the Almaty region but can also be purchased in Astana, Karaganda and Moscow. “Kids nowadays are very tech savvy and spend too much time with their phones,” Aigul Naushabayeva, mother of a 12-year-old daughter, told … [Read more...]
