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...]
TECH TIDBIT: Insects Controlled by Electromagnetic Waves?
A new video has surfaced on YouTube which shows ants moving in a ring around an iPhone when the phone receives a call – suggesting that the electromagnetic waves emitted from a ringing phone can affect the insects. Researchers are divided on the matter. One Australian researcher, Simon Robson of Queensland's James Cook University, believes the phone has nothing to do with the … [Read more...]
New Metamaterial Yields Invisibility for Aircraft and Drones
Electrical engineers from the University of California have created a new ultra-thin metamaterial that could provide a cloaking device and make UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) invisible. The new material creates invisibility and leaves no electronic, infrared or visual signatures for enemies to detect. The new design uses “an ultra-thin Teflon substrate, studded with … [Read more...]
High-tech Highways Could Charge Electric Cars While Driving
The United Kingdom is currently testing technology that would allow high-tech highways to recharge electric cars as users are driving. “The U.K. has already tested a bunch of different approaches to this technology and identified versions that work and are ready to manufacture. In basic terms, the system has power lines connected to coils under the surface of a road, which … [Read more...]
Electromagnetic Catapult Successfully Installed on Aircraft Carrier
The Navy’s new electromagnetic catapult, the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System, (EMALS) has successfully been installed on the USS Gerald R. Ford, replacing the steam catapults previously used to launch aircraft. Because EMALS yields less maintenance, more control, more reliability and a lighter weight, the Navy decided it will be used on all future aircraft carriers in … [Read more...]
Proposed Radio Tower Could Cause Health Risks
Washington state residents are against the proposed KRPI radio tower Whatcom County wants to put south of Point Roberts. Residents reportedly fear the radio tower would emit electromagnetic radiation and create serious health risks. “Recent cellular research has shown that our DNA suffers breaks in its strands with continuous exposure to EMR.

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...]
