Parents are suing Fay School, a boarding school in Southborough, Mass., over claims that the school’s Wi-Fi signal is making their 12-year-old son sick. According to the Worcester Telegram & Gazette, the parents claim their son has ‘Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity Syndrome’ and has suffered from nausea, nosebleeds and headaches since the school activated a stronger … [Read more...]
Company Introduces New Amplifiers at Symposium
TMD Technologies will introduce a new wide range of travelling wave tube amplifiers (TWTAs) for EMC HIRF testing at the IEEE EMC Symposium in Dresden. The TWTAs are compact, lightweight, affordable and offer high field strength. The amplifiers are ideal for use in numerous EMC testing and intermodulationg (PIM) testin applications as well as telecommunications, electronic … [Read more...]
Report: Data can be Hacked Via Sound Waves
A security expert has reported that data can be hacked and transmitted by using sound waves. “Attackers could make use of the physical elements of common input/output circuits - not only in computers but in printers, aircon units, and all kinds of other devices - by vibrating them at a pre-decided frequency. Effectively, they would be turned into radios,” Reuters reported. … [Read more...]
EMI/EMC Power Filter Line Expands
API Technologies has expanded its power filter family with the introduction of new two-line, two-stage, EMI/EMC power filters designed for use in ground-current-sensitive applications. The filters offer a rated voltage of 250(50/60Hz) and an operating temperature range of -40 to +85 degrees Celsius. Other features include “withstanding voltage is 4000V AC or 1500V AC for one … [Read more...]
EMC Test Lab Expands; Now Fully Accredited
Retlif Testing Laboratories, an independent test lab in Ronkonkoma, N.Y., announced it is expanding its EMI/EMC compliance testing laboratories. Retlif has finalized the accreditation process and is now fully accredited to IS0-STD-17025 for its Composite Testing Laboratories. “Administered by the Laboratory Accreditation Bureau (L-A-B), the accreditation enables a broader … [Read more...]
African Village Burning Rituals Help Identify Reason for Magnetic Field Weakening
A team of scientists has reported that ancient village burning rituals that took place during the Iron Age have provided evidence of what could have possibly caused the weakening of the magnetic field in South Africa. Scientists discovered that a hot and dense rock 2,000 miles beneath the surface that is 4 miles wide is the cause of Africa’s magnetic field weakening. “The … [Read more...]
Robots to Help Build Radio Telescope for Far Side of Moon
Researchers are making progress in building a radio telescope array that would be placed on the far side of the moon by a robot. The robot, or rover, would be controlled by NASA astronauts in the Orion spacecraft. A team at the University of Colorado Boulder, lead by Jack Burns of the Lunar University Network for Astrophysics Research (LUNAR), has developed a system that … [Read more...]
Testing Reveals Microwaves May Launch Aircraft into Space
A team of researchers from Escape Dynamics in Colorado have announced test results indicate microwaves might be able to launch space planes into space, which would allow for a single stage spacecraft. If this idea works, it would significantly reduce costs, because sending satellites and humans into orbit is typically very expensive. “Today's rockets are all based on the same … [Read more...]
TECH TIDBIT: NASA Successfully Records Sound in Space
According to NASA, there is sound in space: electromagnetic vibrations that pulsate in wavelengths create this unique sound. NASA successfully recorded electromagnetic vibrations and transformed them into sounds that the human ear can pick up. To listen to the sounds from space, click here. … [Read more...]
Stephen Hawking Project Questions Why Earth has No Communication with Extraterrestrial Life
Stephen Hawking recently discussed his new 100 million dollar project aimed at discovering extraterrestrial life (aliens), titled “Breakthrough Listen.” Frank Drake, chairman emeritus of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute, produced an equation in 1961 for calculating the amount of alien civilizations capable of communication with humans. When Drake plugs … [Read more...]
