New Company’s Different Approach to EMI Shielding

 

John Castle, an EMC Shielding specialist, launched his new company EMC EMI Ltd. earlier this year. Castle is confident his company brings a fresh approach to the shielding industry. Castle was determined to better serve needs of customers in the industry when he was building his company. "Companies that need these products, need a supplier who is reliable, fast and flexible. … [Read more...]

NASA Supports 3D Printed Robotic Hand with Stretchable Optical Sensors

 

A team of researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have developed a 3D printed, three-fingered robotic hand with fiber optical sensors that are stretchable. The hand is able to detect forces that are less than a tenth of a newton. “Using fiber optics, the team of researchers placed 14 strain sensors into each of the robot’s fingers, which are closely modeled on the skeletal … [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...]

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...]

Ground-penetrating Radar Uses Electromagnetic Radiation to Reveal ‘Super-Henge’

 

With the help of ground-penetrating radar, researchers have discovered that there are 90 large stones, known as Durrington Walls, hidden underground in a village near the famous Stonehenge monument in England. Archaeologist Vince Gaffney and his team announced this discovery at the British Science Festival in Bradford, England earlier this month. “Durrington Walls is about … [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...]

Apple’s First Electric Car to Surface in 2019

 

According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Apple plans to manufacture and ship an electric car within the next four years. “The report says Apple is moving forward after investigating options for more than a year, as well as recently meeting with government officials in California. The report also says that Apple's first vehicles may not be autonomous,” USA Today … [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...]
