Behind the discovery of the most fundamental and rare physical processes within our universe is powerful technology, such as the particle accelerators in use today at Fermilab. For over 40 years, one particle accelerator in particular, the Booster synchrotron, has been instrumental in ... Read More

Stealth airplanes and ships avoid radar detection by optimizing the shape of surfaces to reflect away from the radar source or absorb its energy. Yet, if a ship or aircraft’s antenna for communication purposes is to operate properly, it cannot be completely covered up. This makes it one ... Read More

Researchers at Radiotelevisione Italiana (RAI) are optimizing circularly polarized antenna designs for recording live sporting events, like the prestigious cycling event Giro d'Italia in Italy, with minimal service interruptions. To do so, they turn to multiphysics simulation. Read More

MicroPort CRM used numerical simulation to optimize leadless cardiac pacemaker (LCP) designs and how they communicate with each other within the human body for cardiac rhythm management in patients. Read More

The idea of "perfect imaging", that is a resolution less than the wavelength of light producing the image, was first proposed in the mid-19th century by famed Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell. For the next 150 years, it was widely believed that such was impossible due to the fact ... Read More

As the world becomes more digital, there is growing demand for advanced wireless systems. Increasingly high data rate transmission systems mean that components like microwave filters must fit into smaller and smaller spaces, and multiple filters need to be integrated into compact ... Read More

To design a "smart oven" with solid-state, convection heating, engineers at Illinois Tool Works (ITW) Food Equipment Group turned to multiphysics simulation and specialized applications. The finished product is able to cook food faster and more efficiently than conventional appliances. Read More

The impending evolution of ultrafast 5G networks from concept to reality will entail significant effort into the complex maintenance of impedance and the precision of individual components at high data transfer rates. Connectors, parts that join electrical transmission lines and transfer ... Read More

Radiation therapy targeting in cancer treatment involves many uncertainties, including the movement of targeted sites due to breathing and the like. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can accurately identify the location of a tumor in soft tissue, but unfortunately its magnetic field can ... Read More

As satellites and astronauts travel further out in space, the more communication challenges they are faced with. This article discusses the variety of antennas that can be found on a spacecraft and the different simulation techniques that are best suited for each type of antenna such as ... Read More
