What's New

Computer Simulation Technology AG (CST) CST, which develops software for electromagnetic field simulation, has announced the acquisition of IdemWorks, an academic spin off company that provides of modeling tools and services.

Researchers at Cornell University have found yet another application for graphene: to make mechanical resonators that could be used in future telecommunications applications. T

Intentionally zapping nuclear weapons with lightning sounds dangerous, but it’s actually a safety precaution. Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories perform tests to ensure that stockpiles of nuclear weapons will remain safe even if lightning directly strikes the weapons.

Toyota is recalling 3.37 million cars because of defective air bags and problems with the emissions control units.

Polaris is recalling 43,000 recreational off-highway vehicles (ROVs) because they pose a fire hazard....

The batteries in HeartWare Ventricular Assist Devices can lose power prematurely due to faulty cells. This defect could cause serious health consequences or even death.

Researchers discovered that the ions inside a battery should flow back and forth from one electrode to another, but it turns out that they often get stuck, causing “traffic jams” that reduce capacity. Now that the problem has been identified, several possible solutions could improve batteries in the near future.

A new technique uses lasers to create plasma that can detect chemicals in the air. This new method could be used for environmental monitoring, since the colors of the plasma filaments can indicate the presence a wide range of molecules, including biohazards and pollutants.

PACCAR Incorporated is recalling 355 model year 2016 Kenworth W900 trucks because they pose a crash hazard. When the truck’s headlamps are switched from low beam to high beam, the low beams are deactivated and there is a chance that the high beams could also be delayed in activation, leaving the headlamps off.

Statistical models for maximum electromagnetic fields within RF reflective enclosures (i.e. complex cavities) have historically been derived from parent distributions obtained from the central limit theorem applied to sums of random variables.
