The Metaverse Needs Standards, Too
The Metaverse Standards Forum, which launched on 21 June 2022, sees an opportunity to get everyone to sit down at the same (probably virtual) table and hash out the basic technologies needed. With a more solid foundation, the forum believes, the metaverse can better develop and evolve. → Read More
Inside the Universe Machine: The Webb Space Telescope’s Ultra-Reliable Radio
Any scientific data the JWST collects during its lifetime will need to be stored on board, because the spacecraft doesn’t maintain round-the-clock contact with Earth. The on-board storage is enough to collect data for about 24 hours before it runs out of room. → Read More
Improving Cell Reception By Making Signals Noisier
In wireless communications, noise from the environment or other signals is almost always seen as something to overcome. The Mountain View, Calif.-based Artemis Networks, however, has a different idea. → Read More

“Great Capacity!” “Less Latency!”—How Wi-Fi 7 Achieves Both
Wi-Fi 7 (the official IEEE standard is 802.11be) may only give Wi-Fi 6 a scant few years in the spotlight, but it’s not just an upgrade for the sake of an upgrade. → Read More

Wireless Worries Overshadow Triumphs of RF Research
“For a good review of 5G bio-effects studies, see Karipidis’s article that found ‘no confirmed evidence that low-level RF fields above 6 GHz such as those used by the 5G network are hazardous to human health.’ The review also called for more research.” —Kenneth Foster, Univ. of Pennsylvania → Read More

3G’s Sunset Takes Aging Cars and Medical Devices With It
There are currently about 440 fission reactors operating worldwide, which together can generate about 400 gigawatts of power with zero carbon emissions. Yet these fission plants, for all their value, have considerable downsides. The enriched uranium fuel they use must be kept secure. Devastating accidents, like the one at Fukushima in Japan, can leave areas uninhabitable. Fission waste… → Read More
