A revolutionary piece of technology, created by researchers at the University of St Andrews, can detect what an object is by placing it on a small radar sensor. The device, called RadarCat (Radar Categorisation for Input and Interaction), can be trained to recognise different objects and materials, from a drinking glass to a computer keyboard,…
Could Ferocious Lightning Storms on Other Planets Beam Radio Signals to Earth?
Ferocious lightning storms millions of times more powerful than those on Earth could be responsible for unexplained radio signals from planets orbiting other stars. That is the finding of researchers from the University of St Andrews School of Physics and Astronomy in a piece of work published today (25 April 2016). In 2009 French astronomers…
