Romania’s Ministry of Communications has proposed a bill that will allow telecommunication operators to pay less to use radio frequencies if the frequencies are interfered by other radio stations. Radio interference from other radio communication stations can greatly affect the telecom operator’s work. The Ministry released the draft of the bill while a disagreement between … [Read more...]
Sirens Fail to Function During Tornado Warning Due to Radio Interference
An outdoor warning system failed to function properly during a tornado warning in Hannibal, Missouri on June 28 due to radio interference. Mike Hall, Marion County 911 director, is certain that the radio interference came from HPD traffic. “The city’s 16-siren system is activated through a single radio transmission. A day after the storm, Hall reported a review of the 911 … [Read more...]
Astronomers Unveil View of Galaxy’s Electromagnetic Loop
This week at the National Astronomy Meeting (NAM 2015) in Wales, scientists working with the Planck Satellite, including Mike Peel and Paddy Leahy, revealed a new polarization map of the Milky Way in microwaves. This particular view of the electromagnetic loop discovered more than half of a century ago, has never been seen before. “It’s a full sky map showing synchrotron loops … [Read more...]
‘Unstoppable’ New Hacking Device Steals Encryption Keys Out of the Air
A group of researchers from Tel Aviv University and the Israeli research center have produced a new hacking device that can steal encryption keys “out of the air.” The device cannot be stopped by disabling Wi-Fi networks or turning off Bluetooth because the device doesn’t use standard communication methods to steal data. The device uses radio waves emitted from computer … [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...]
Energy-efficient Electric Car: No AM Radio Due to Possible EMI
The BMW i3 Electric Car was the most energy-efficient car sold in the U.S. this year, according to Green Car Reports. However, consumers noticed the car does not offer AM Radio. “AM is not offered due to negative performance influences of the electromagnetic interference of the electric drivetrain. Electric motors cause interference on AM which is why BMW decided to remove … [Read more...]
EMI from Smartphones May Affect Cardiac Devices
Dr. Carsten Lennerz, cardiology resident in Germany, presented results of a study on Monday at the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) Eurospace Cardiostim. “Pacemakers can mistakenly detect electromagnetic interference (EMI) from smartphones as a cardiac signal, causing them to briefly stop working. This leads to a pause in the cardiac rhythm of the pacing dependent … [Read more...]
NASA Developing Early Warning System for Solar Flares
NASA has announced it is developing an early warning system for solar flares to give the Earth more time to prepare for storms, thus reducing damage. Scientists from both NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and Imperial College London published their research and experiments in Space Weather in the June 9 edition. Their research demonstrates how the new warning system can both … [Read more...]
Electromagnetic Catapult Successfully Launches Dead Load Truck into River
Earlier this week, the U.S. Navy began dead load testing the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EALS) on the Gerald R. Ford CVN 78. The electromagnetic slingshot launched an 80,000 pound dead load truck into the James River in Virginia. The truck reportedly weighed as much as a jet. Even though the truck wasn’t airborne for too long before hitting the water, the test … [Read more...]
Woman Fights Cancer with Electric Fields
Elizabeth Marek, a mother of two from St. Louis Missouri, has a deadly form of brain cancer known as Glioblastoma, which has no cure and a life expectancy of two years after diagnosis. A small tumor was found in her brain after she started experiencing aggressive headaches, and surgeons at Washington University removed the tumor in an emergency surgery. Eventually, a second … [Read more...]
