Maglev Hovering Train Breaks Speed Record
A seven car Maglev (magnetic levitation) Train in Central Japan broke its own speed record when tested near Mount Fuji this week. In 2003 the Maglev’s record was 268 mph and last week it reached 366 mph. On Tuesday the Maglev surpassed both previous records and reached 374 mph. The Maglev train hovers four inches above the tracks and is propelled by electrically-charged … [Read more...]
Invisible Objects Created in the Microwave Range Without Metamaterial Cloaking
Physicists from ITMO University, Ioffe Institute and Australian National University have made homogenous cylindrical objects entirely invisible in the microwave range without metamaterial cloaking. Until now, invisibility relied on metamaterial coatings, which can change the direction of light and make light curve around cloaked objects. However, with a new understanding of … [Read more...]
FBI Pulled Security Expert from Flight for Alleged Hacking Concerns
