  2. Electromagnetic shielding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_shielding

    Electromagnetic shielding that blocks radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic radiation is also known as RF shielding. EMF shielding serves to minimize electromagnetic interference. The shielding can reduce the coupling of radio waves, electromagnetic fields, and electrostatic fields.

  3. Faraday cage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage

    The reception or transmission of radio waves, a form of electromagnetic radiation, to or from an antenna within a Faraday cage is heavily attenuated or blocked by the cage; however, a Faraday cage has varied attenuation depending on wave form, frequency, or the distance from receiver or transmitter, and receiver or transmitter power.

  4. Tin foil hat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tin_foil_hat

    In 1962, Allan H. Frey discovered that the microwave auditory effect (i.e., the sounds induced by the reception of radio-frequency electromagnetic signals, heard as clicks and buzzes) can be blocked by a patch of wire mesh (rather than foil) placed above the temporal lobe. [10] [11] In 2005, a tongue-in-cheek experimental study [12] [13] by a ...

    So NASA’s scientists wrapped the cables in a whole lot of aluminum foil and found that in 1979 Voyager 1 had safely swung past Jupiter and would continue on its legendary journey.

  6. Radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation

    Symbol for radio waves . Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum longer than infrared light. Like all other electromagnetic waves, they travel at the speed of light. Naturally occurring radio waves are made by lightning, or by certain astronomical objects.

  7. Fixed-target experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-target_experiment

    The energy involved in a fixed target experiment is 4 times smaller compared to that in collider with the dual beams of same energy. [5] [6] More over in collider experiments energy of two beams is available to produce new particles, while in fixed target case a lot of energy is just expended in giving velocities to the newly created particles.

  8. Radiation-absorbent material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation-absorbent_material

    An RF anechoic chamber used for EMC testing. In materials science, radiation-absorbent material (RAM) is a material which has been specially designed and shaped to absorb incident RF radiation (also known as non-ionising radiation), as effectively as possible, from as many incident directions as possible.

  9. Ernest Rutherford - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Rutherford

    Rutherford and Soddy published their paper "Law of Radioactive Change" to account for all their experiments. Until then, atoms were assumed to be the indestructible basis of all matter; and although Curie had suggested that radioactivity was an atomic phenomenon, the idea of the atoms of radioactive substances breaking up was a radically new idea.
