Nuclear blasts trigger an effect called electromagnetic pulse, or EMP. EMP can disrupt or even destroy electronics from miles away. Blasts miles above a country like the US might severely damage ...

A major threat to America has been largely ignored by those who could prevent it. An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack could wreak havoc on the nation's electronic systems-shutting down power ...

Pyongyang’s warnings now include a tactic long discussed by some experts: an EMP triggered by a nuclear weapon that would aim to shut down the U.S. electricity grid and electronic devices.

The Air Force released its 2018 Electromagnetic Defense Task Force report last week, which concluded that an electromagnetic pulse—generated either by a nuclear weapon or solar flare—could ...

Many consider an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack on the United States, from an atmospheric nuclear warhead detonation, to be a black swan event – a high-impact, unpredictable event. But we have ...

The graph below shows the total number of publications each year in Pulse Width Modulation and Electromagnetic Interference in Power Electronics.

An EMP, which is a high-intensity burst of electromagnetic energy caused by the rapid acceleration of charged particles, can be produced by intense solar storms or by a nuclear weapon detonated ...

The government is worried about electromagnetic pulse attacks. Should citizens -- and police departments -- be worried about them, in deciding whether to get "smart guns" or stick with mechanical ...

The possible threat of an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) to our grid occasionally crops up in the news. The usual fix is to put metal cages, known as Faraday Cages, around critical components. But we ...

EMP weapons have been the source of sci-fi flair in movies and games for years, but the technology remains very real, and would be devastating in real life.

Known as the Electromagnetic Pulse-tolerant Microwave Receiver Front-end, or EMPiRe, the program aims to produce a microwave receiver capable of surviving and operating in high energy ...
