Is Fukushima radiation affecting the West Coast? Consider these signs

In March 2011, the province of Fukushima, Japan, was struck by a series of devastating events that culminated in one of the worst nuclear disasters in history. First, the area experienced a magnitude 9.0 earthquake; that, in turn, caused a 15-metre (50-foot) tsunami; and finally, the tsunami disabled the power supply and cooling functions at […]

Researchers creating a new class of 5G millimeter wave transmitter antenna designs that will soon occupy over a billion mobile devices

Researchers have come up with a new class of millimeter wave transmitters by integrating the design of antenna and electronics. This new device boosts energy and spectrum efficiency, which could mean longer talk times and higher data rates in future 5G applications. In addition to these, the device also exhibits improved modulation and reduced generation […]

Microgravity and radiation: Astronauts headed to Mars will face many health challenges

A recent study from researchers of the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) discovered that microgravity, a condition where people or objects appear to be weightless, causes muscle and bone loss. This may pose a risk for astronauts who will be traveling to other celestial bodies such as the moon and Mars, especially for long periods of time. While scientists have previously […]

Silent killers: Cordless phones show dangerously high radiation readings

The idea of taking in a killer is unthinkable. But that’s what most of us are doing every time we plug in our cordless phones. In a video, Neil from EMF Safety Zone demonstrated first-hand the danger that people are exposed to when cordless phones are present in the house. In the video, a high frequency (HF) analyzer […]

WARNING: 9 out of 10 popular cell phone models exceed regulatory limits for radiation

Cell phone radiation is a big concern for many people, but manufacturers have largely downplayed the risks, and they’re quick to point out that their products meet the regulatory limits. That may be true, but what if the regulatory limits are inherently flawed? Data released by France’s National Frequency Agency, ANFR, paints a very different […]
