MIT researchers have developed a reconfigurable antenna that dynamically adjusts its frequency range by changing its physical shape, making it more versatile for communications and sensing than static antennas. A user can stretch, bend, or compress the antenna to make reversible changes to its radiation properties, enabling a device to operate in a wider frequency range without the need for …

A first-of-its-kind satellite recently launched into orbit to monitor Earth’s changing surfaces, detecting movement of the planet’s crust down to fractions of an inch. The satellite packed a giant radar antenna, folded like an umbrella, and it just unfurled the massive, drum-shaped structure through an intricate process that brought it to full bloom. The NISAR mission, a joint effort between …

The mission carries the most sophisticated radar systems ever launched as part of a NASA mission. In a first, the satellite combines two synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems: an L-band system that can see through clouds and forest canopy, and an S-band system that can see through clouds as well but is more sensitive to light vegetation and moisture in …

Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 Pro models will feature a redesigned antenna system that wraps around the large rear camera bump on the devices, according to the latest rumor from a hit-or-miss leaker known as Majin Bu. A render of the iPhone 17 Pro’s alleged antenna system via @zellzoi The leaker shared a render of the alleged new design in a …
