Sony is recommending its consumers who own a Sony VAIO Fit 11A laptop to stop using it and unplug it due to the non-removable battery possibly overheating and causing damage to the laptop’s housing.

A team of engineers have shown the capabilities of a stick-on patch including commercial, off-the-shelf chip-based electronics is advancing health monitoring wirelessly and could transform clinical monitoring.

Two research papers on the potential of the millimeter-wave band (58-63 GHz) were presented by University of Bristol researchers at the IEEE WCNC Conference last week. This band could be an ideal solution for short-range gigabit wireless communications, but there has been a lack of investigation of the ability of frequency reuse at 60GHz.

University of Arizona and University of Central Florida scientists are creating a new method that is capable of transmitting high-intensity laser beams through the atmosphere than what is currently possible. The goal of the project is to be able to guide electrical discharges, like lightning, away from buildings where lightning rods are limited.
