Bad weather in outer space? No doubt about it. Experts think a spark shorted out the connections between the satellite's solar-power panels and several dozen of its radio relays. The spark, in turn, was caused by an electromagnetic storm triggered when a blast of solar gas slammed into...
When Wallace Professor of Applied Physics R. Victor Jones introduced his teaching fellow (TF) during this semester's first lecture of Engineering Sciences 151: ` "Electromagnetic Communication," the class responded with a standing ovation.
Infowar weapons may be even more exotic than computer viruses. Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico has developed a suitcase-size device that generates a high-powered electromagnetic pulse. Commandos could sneak into a foreign capital, place the EMP suitcase next to a bank and set it off. The...

But these are purely mental constructions, even when they're based on external information. For example, says Llinas, "light is nothing but electromagnetic radiation. Colors clearly...
Prentiss's work is significant, Feldman said, because she has performed research on electromagnetic fields. The knowledge she has gained by depositing atoms in narrow lines could have important applications in lithography, he said.
