Before CarPlay, Apple previewed ‘iOS in the Car’ with a very different design
CarPlay has graduated from a niche upgrade option to a mainstream standard feature in new cars, replacing clunky radio user interfaces with a design very familiar for iPhone users. But before Apple set CarPlay loose in the wild, the world was shown a.....»»
Radio waves can tune up bacteria to become life-saving medicines
Scientists from Australia and the United States have found a new way to alter the DNA of bacterial cells—a process used to make many vital medicines including insulin—much more efficiently than standard industry techniques......»»
Researchers leverage machine learning to improve space weather predictions
There are three levels of severity for space storms: geomagnetic storms, solar radiation storms and radio blackouts. These storms produce different effects on Earth, including satellite, GPS, communications and electrical grid issues, as well as heal.....»»
Observations explore radio jet of a powerful quasar
European astronomers have conducted very long baseline interferometric (VLBI) observations of a radio jet structure in a powerful quasar known as PKS 2215+020. The collected VLBI data provide important insights into the properties of this jet, sugges.....»»
Newly spotted black hole has mass of 17 billion Suns, adding another daily
An accretion disk 7 light-years across powers an exceptionally bright galaxy. Enlarge (credit: ESO/M. Kornmesser) Quasars initially confused astronomers when they were discovered. First identified as sources of radio-fre.....»»
Astronomers are figuring out what causes incredibly bright flashes in space
Some of the oddest cosmic phenomena are short but powerful flashes called fast radio bursts. Now astronomers have observed one before and after it occurred,.....»»
Another clue into the true nature of fast radio bursts
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are strange events. They can last only milliseconds, but during that time can outshine a galaxy. Some FRBs are repeaters, meaning that they can occur more than once from the same location, while others seem to occur just once.....»»
Apple Music launches new personalized ‘Love’ and ‘Heartbreak’ stations
Timely for Valentine’s Day, Apple Music has launched two new personalized radio stations, available now for Apple Music subscribers. The ‘Love Station’ has a romantic theme featuring songs about falling in love, whereas ‘Heartbreak’ feat.....»»
NASA telescopes find new clues about mysterious deep space signals
What's causing mysterious bursts of radio waves from deep space? Astronomers may be a step closer to providing one answer to that question. Two NASA X-ray telescopes recently observed one of such events—known as a fast radio burst—mere minutes be.....»»
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in Apple Vision Pro aren"t cooking your brain
The folks you'd expect to complain about radio frequency are at it again, but don't listen to them — Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on the Apple Vision Pro aren't going to cook your brain.Apple Vision ProWe've said this before, over and over, time and again......»»

Chinese astronomers find radio pulsar in a supernova remnant
Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), astronomers from the Nanjing University in China and elsewhere, have detected a radio pulsar in a supernova remnant known as CTB 87. The finding is reported in a paper published.....»»
NASA"s new experimental antenna tracks deep space laser
An experimental antenna has received both radio frequency and near-infrared laser signals from NASA's Psyche spacecraft as it travels through deep space. This shows it's possible for the giant dish antennas of NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN), which c.....»»
NASA talks to spacecraft using both radio and laser communications on one dish

MXene-coated devices can guide microwaves in space and lighten the payload
One of the most important components of satellites that enable telecommunication is the waveguide, which is a metal tube for guiding radio waves. It is also one of the heaviest payloads satellites carry into orbit. As with all space technology, reduc.....»»
NASA to study effects of radio noise on lunar science
In February 2024, Intuitive Machines' IM-1 mission will launch to the moon's South Polar region, as part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative. This mission is part of the CLPS ongoing effort to bring down the cost for science.....»»
Russian astronomers discover dozens of new pulsars
