While iPhones can operate on cellular networks, it is better to use their data features on a Wi-Fi network, if one is available. Not only is Wi-Fi data typically faster than cellular data, but it is ...

Experimental technologies offer elegant, inexpensive solutions. Researchers are studying applications and materials for creating radio antennas that are sprayed onto a surface. Made from commercially ...

When it comes to actual antennas in the real world, much of our knowledge is empirical. We know very broadly theories that explain how a point charge radiates (Maxwell’s equations), the need for ...

When it comes to electronics, bigger usually isn't better. This is especially true for a new generation of wearable communication systems that promise to connect people, machines and other objects in ...
