Final post

This is just a very brief final post to summarise my experiences in RES7. I have to say it has been one of the most enjoyable & engaging papers I have studied so far during my time at NMIT. I really enjoy the class discussions and feel I have gained a lot of knowledge and […]

Research & Fraud

I was going to continue my RF & Health series of posts this week with #4, but I found an intriguing article in nature. To quote the beginning of the article “More than 70% of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another scientist’s experiments, and more than half have failed to reproduce their own experiments.” […]

RF & Health (part 3)

To begin this weeks blog post I’m including an interesting article from May 2nd related to an Israeli television show that has been translated into English. The show was about the dangers of wireless radiation. Here’s a short quote from the article “The theme of the half-hour April 12 program titled, “How We Are Killing […]

RTL-SDR

This week Claire said we could post about whatever we liked, I don’t know if it’s supposed to relate to research so I’m going to post about RTL-SDR’s & SDR’s in general as I think they’re awesome! This is what a typical RTL-SDR looks like. To explain what an RTL-SDR is I will start with […]

Experimental Research
