Toward world's smallest radio: nano-sized detector turns radio waves into music
Researchers report development of the world's first working radio system that receives radio waves wirelessly and converts them to sound signals through a nano-sized detector made of carbon nanotubes. view more (2007-10-18)
Initiating the Surround Sound Era for Digital Radio
Telos/Omnia and Fraunhofer IIS announce the first public demonstration of their new surround system for HD Radio™ at the NAB Radio Show in San Diego, October 6-8, booth 907. view more (2004-10-05)
One million visitors to solar eclipse website
The website resides at http://www.eclipse.org.uk and was set up by CLRC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in response to a need to explain to the public exactly what to expect during the first total eclipse of the sun visible from the UK for 72 years. view more (1999-01-15)
Press Conference: Digital Radio Mondiale To Reveal Latest Progress Toward Digital AM
As its launch date draws closer, Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) will reveal its latest technical progress toward digital AM in a bilingual press conference (German/English) at IFA 2001 on Monday, August 27th. The event will feature DRM Chairman (and Deutsche Welle Chief Engineer) Peter Senger, DRM Director of Press & Communications Siriol Evans,... view more... (2001-08-23)
Watching the radio
The days are over when all that radio listeners could expect were words and music. At the International Audio and Video Fair (IFA) in Berlin, researchers from the Applied Electronics Department of the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS presented multimedia radio. It is able to transmit small-sized moving pictures as well as sound.... view more... (1999-09-03)
National award for combating the effects of rain on radio signals
In wet and snowy weather, microwave and radio signals can become severely weakened. This is bad news for anyone who wants to be able to guarantee a reliable service whatever the weather, such as mobile phone companies and radio stations. By measuring how badly the test microwave signals fade, however, scientists in the Radiocommunications Unit at... view more... (2000-03-13)
Fraunhofer inducted into Hall of Fame
Digital radio ensures interference-free radio reception in CD quality. To achieve digital-radio standards nevertheless requires a great deal of development work since the transmitter and receiver systems greatly differ from conventional, analog devices. During the conception phase of the XM Satellite Radio project, a Fraunhofer team convincingly... view more... (2002-06-07)
Asteroid Hunting
A lot of attention has been paid in recent years to the asteroid threat issue. The International Asteroid Patrol has been set up to monitor the flight of potentially dangerous celestial rocks in visual diapason. However, the accuracy of optical methods for determining the trajectory leaves much to be desired. That accounts for inaccuracy of... view more... (2003-03-07)
For peace and quiet, try the Moon
ASTRONOMERS are taking the search for somewhere quiet to work to new extremes with a plan to put a radio telescope on the far side of the Moon. The advantage of this unusual location is that the Moon would act as a massive shield, protecting the telescope against radio emissions from Earth.... view more... (2002-01-02)
Alaska Space Grant program launches B.E.A.R.
The Alaska Space Grant Program and the Arctic Amateur Radio Club formed the Balloon Experiment And Research Program-or B.E.A.R. for short-in December 2007. view more (2008-06-04)
Weather, waves and wireless: Super strength signalling
A new study from the University of Leicester has discovered a particular window of time when mobile signals and radio waves are 'super strength' - allowing them to be clearer and travel greater distances, potentially interfering with other systems. view more (2008-05-19)
Astronomers discover new radio signal using large balloon
A team of NASA-funded scientists, including two from UC Santa Barbara, have discovered cosmic radio noise that they find completely unexpected and exciting. view more (2009-01-08)
Superstar Video Jockey Mixes It For Kingston University
An artist who has made his name at Radio 1 has been sounding out a different audience after accepting a new challenge at Kingston University's Stanley Picker Gallery. Charles Kriel, who has teamed up with DJ heavyweights such as Pete Tong and Paul Oakenfold as Radio 1's artist in residence, has just been appointed the gallery's design fellow. Mr... view more...

5.1 Surround Sound for FM HD Radio at NAB 2005
Fraunhofer IIS, Telos, Omnia, Axia, Broadcast Electronics and Bose participate in world-premiere live demon-stration of non-matrixed 5.1 Surround Sound for FM HD Radio. view more (2005-04-13)
Arecibo telescope finds critical ingredients for the soup of life in a galaxy far, far away
Astronomers from Arecibo Observatory radio telescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, have detected for the first time the molecules methanimine and hydrogen cyanide - two ingredients that build life-forming amino acids - in a galaxy some 250 million light years away. view more (2008-01-15)
Digital AM Radio
Despite the technical advances of digital FM radio, offering increased choice and crystal clear, disturbance-free radio reception, AM (medium and long-range) radio is still the most common medium used to broadcast news and entertainment around the world. Now EUREKA project E! 2390 DIAM has combined the benefits of digital radio with the range and... view more... (2004-06-21)
Switching off analogue TV will silence radio mikes
Actors could be struck dumb when everyone has digital television SWITCHING off Britain`s analogue television network threatens to silence its theatres, concert halls and TV studios. After 2006, the government plans to raise billions of pounds by auctioning licences to use the UHF frequencies... view more... (2002-03-13)
Researchers using Arecibo Telescope discover never-before-seen pulsar blasts in Crab Nebula
Astronomers and physicists using the Cornell-managed Arecibo Telescope in Puerto Rico have discovered radio interpulses from the Crab Nebula pulsar that feature never-before-seen radio emission spectra. This leads scientists to speculate this could be the first cosmic object with a third magnetic pole. view more (2007-01-09)
Beagle 2 - Media Briefing on latest communication attempts
Venue: The Science Media Centre, the Royal Institution of Great Britain, 21 Albemarle Street, London W1S 4BS Date: 26 January 2004 Time: 1400 GMT. Registration: 13.45 GMT On 12 January a period of radio silence was initiated when no attempts were made to contact Beagle 2. Maintaining radio silence for a period of ten days is intended to force... view more... (2004-01-21)
New communications technology is looking good
High-tech is turning to high fashion as devices such as mobile phones and personal organisers are increasingly expected to look good as well as work well. Researchers at the University of York are working on technical solutions for small and increasingly mobile devices. People in today`s fast-moving digital world want to be able to access... view more... (2002-06-17)
