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...]
India Launches Space Observatory into Orbit to Study Electromagnetic Spectrum
On Monday, Sept. 28 at 12:30 a.m. EDT, The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) successfully launched seven satellites into orbit from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) in Sriharikota, India. One of the satellites is the country’s first ever space observatory. This mission, known as PSLV-C30, lasted about 23 minutes and 32 seconds. “The most important passenger of 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...]
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...]
New Electromagnetic Simulation and Matching Circuit Optimization Software Released
Remcom has recently introduced the assimilation of XFdtd® Electromagnetic Simulation Software and Optenni Lab™ matching circuit optimization software. The integration of Optenni allows XFdtd users to create a matching network topology and initial component values for their device. XFdtd calculates the S-parameters, and the results are sent into Optenni. Optenni then provides a … [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...]
RFID Sensors Allow for the Collection of Football Data
The NFL has joined with Zebra Technologies to launch MotionWorks RFID sensors, which will be placed in the shoulder pads of all the players. “The sensors will each emit unique radio frequencies that will be captured by the 20 receivers that have been put in all the stadiums that are used by the NFL,” according to the Tech Times. Through these sensors, data about the players … [Read more...]
Magnetic Field Cloak to Assist MRI Scanners and Medical Industry
Scientists from the Autonomous University of Barcelona have created a magnetic field cloak, or ‘wormhole,’ which could lead to better MRI scanning. “The wormhole allows a magnetic field to be transported across space but it is not the kind of cosmic tunnel popularised by science fiction. Rather, the magnetic field at one end of the wormhole appears at the other end as an … [Read more...]
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...]
