University’s Light Rail Yields Potential Electromagnetic Interference to Expensive Lab Equipment

 

A University of Minnesota light rail reportedly causes electromagnetic radiation and vibrations, which could disturb university research in chemistry and medical departments, the Minnesota Daily reported. For more than a year, Metro Transit and the Metropolitan Council have attempted to reduce the electromagnetic disturbances from the Green Line Light Rail. The University of … [Read more...]

Automatic SAR Measurement Robot Debuts at IMS 2015

 

This week at the IEEE International Microwave Symposium (IMS), ART-Fi will showcase the “SARborg,” an automatic SAR measurement robot. The SARborg saves time, improves accuracy and repeatability, and is precise with its measurements. “We call it the SARborg, because it’s a robot that runs through batteries of SAR tests completely hands-free. We have essentially roboticized the … [Read more...]

Scientists Concerned with Electronic Device Radiation File Appeal to UN

 

Scientists from 39 different nations are concerned about electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and radiation from mobile phones, tablets, laptops and other electronic devices. A group of 199 scientists have filed an appeal, titled “International EMF Scientist Appeal,” with the United Nations and World Health Organization (WHO) and have requested the organizations adopt more protective … [Read more...]

Astronomers Discover 17-Year Interference Caused by Microwave Oven

 

For nearly 17 years astronomers at Parkes Observatory in Australia searched for the reason why radio interference took place during experiments and observations. They discovered early this year that the interference was coming from a microwave oven in the observatory’s kitchen. Parkes Observatory houses one of the best-known radio telescopes in the country. It is used to … [Read more...]

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

 

The FBI pulled Chris Roberts, a computer security expert, from his United Airlines Flight last Wednesday in Syracuse because of suspicions that he hacked the airplane. Roberts tweeted referencing the plane’s communication systems suggesting he was going to use his laptop to force the plane’s emergency oxygen masks to deploy. The tweet read: “Find Myself on a 737/800, let’s see … [Read more...]

New Software Detects RF Interference

 

Delcross Technologies announces its new Electromagnetic Interference Toolkit (EMIT) Version 4.0 software for RF and radar systems. EMIT detects possible RF cosite interference that may occur between two or more radios. “EMIT manages installed RF system performance data, simulates intra-system RF EMI effects, and helps to mitigate EMI issues, resulting in a comprehensive … [Read more...]
