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. Continuous exposure to EMR would … [Read more...]
African Village Burning Rituals Help Identify Reason for Magnetic Field Weakening
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Outdated 2G Mobile Phones Could be Used to Hack Computers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...]
Inductors with Vertical Design Reduce Footprint by 30 Percent
TDK Corporation has extended its range of EPCOS frame core power line chokes with the addition of the new B82733V* series in a vertical design. This new series complements TDK’s B82733F* series, which is offered in a horizontal design. The new vertical inductor series has numerous benefits over a horizontal series. Vertical design reduces footprint by more than 30 percent, … [Read more...]
Robots to Help Build Radio Telescope for Far Side of Moon
Researchers are making progress in building a radio telescope array that would be placed on the far side of the moon by a robot. The robot, or rover, would be controlled by NASA astronauts in the Orion spacecraft. A team at the University of Colorado Boulder, lead by Jack Burns of the Lunar University Network for Astrophysics Research (LUNAR), has developed a system that … [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...]
Testing Reveals Microwaves May Launch Aircraft into Space
A team of researchers from Escape Dynamics in Colorado have announced test results indicate microwaves might be able to launch space planes into space, which would allow for a single stage spacecraft. If this idea works, it would significantly reduce costs, because sending satellites and humans into orbit is typically very expensive. “Today's rockets are all based on the same … [Read more...]
TECH TIDBIT: NASA Successfully Records Sound in Space
According to NASA, there is sound in space: electromagnetic vibrations that pulsate in wavelengths create this unique sound. NASA successfully recorded electromagnetic vibrations and transformed them into sounds that the human ear can pick up. To listen to the sounds from space, click here. … [Read more...]
Stephen Hawking Project Questions Why Earth has No Communication with Extraterrestrial Life
Stephen Hawking recently discussed his new 100 million dollar project aimed at discovering extraterrestrial life (aliens), titled “Breakthrough Listen.” Frank Drake, chairman emeritus of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute, produced an equation in 1961 for calculating the amount of alien civilizations capable of communication with humans. When Drake plugs … [Read more...]
