The use of microwave spans an extensive range in our technological and scientific fields. We can use microwaves for radars, mobile communications, and even astronomy.
Recently, a combined team of scientists from Raytheon BBN Technologies, POSTECH, Harvard University, Spain’s Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology, Massachusett’s Institute of Technology, and Japan’s National Institute for Materials Science have worked together to develop a very ultrasensitive sensor to detect microwaves at the highest theoretical sensitivity possible.
As of today, we use a bolometer to detect microwave power. The team …
Using the Sun’s Energy to Create Clean Drinking Water
Drinkable water is necessary for life. Despite this fact, it is unfortunate that approximately 1.1 billion people cannot access clean water while 2.4 billion suffer from illnesses due to drinking unclean water.
Although there are advancements in science with water treatment methods to produce drinkable water, most are extremely costly. Thus countries with poor sectors can only produce them at a low productivity rate.
More recent technology has demonstrated great promise as an …
