Qualcomm Releases Study Showing That Its Modems Beat Apple’s C1
Qualcomm's modem chips worked better than a rival component developed by Apple, a study commissioned by the former said. The iPhone 16e, the first smartphone to use Apple’s in-house C1 modem, was slower to download and upload information on T-Mobile’s 5G network in New York City than Qualcomm-powered Android devices, according to a report by Ce...

Researchers Study Dark Matter Conversion Signals in Earth's Ionosphere
A study explored the potential of Earth's ionosphere as a medium to detect dark matter particles, specifically axions and dark photons. Researchers propose that these particles could convert into low-frequency radio waves within the ionosphere's plasma, creating detectable signals. By utilizing small, cost-effective dipole antennas, scientists aim ...

New Research Explains Zebra Pattern in Radio Waves from Crab Nebula
A new model by Mikhail Medvedev from the University of Kansas offers an explanation for the zebra-like pattern in high-frequency radio waves emitted by the Crab Pulsar. The pattern, first discovered in 2007, is likely caused by diffraction and interference of waves in the pulsar's plasma-rich environment. Medvedev’s model could also provide a met...
