Starting Mobile Phones

A mobile phone (also known as a cellular phone, cell phone, hand phone, or simply a phone) is a  phone  that can make and receive  telephone calls  over a  radio link  while moving around a wide geographic area. It does so by connecting to a  cellular network  provided by a  mobile phone operator , allowing access to the  public telephone network . By contrast, a  cordless telephone  is used only within the short range of a single, private base station. In addition to telephony, modern mobile phones also support a wide variety of other  services  such as  text messaging ,  MMS ,  email , Internet access, short-range wireless communications ( infrared ,  Bluetooth ), business applications, gaming, and photography. Mobile phones that offer these and more general computing capabilities are referred to as  smartphones . The first hand-held cell phone was demonst...

Latest Scientific Invention

Sci-Fi Cloaking Device Could Protect Soldiers from Shock Waves A researcher at the defense company Boeing has filed a patent for a sci-fi-esque cloaking device that would protect soldiers from intense shock waves generated by explosions. The just-issued patent (No. 8,981,261) to Boeing envisions stopping shock waves using a veil of heated, ionized air. Such a "shield" would damp  the force of explosions . It doesn't build an invisible wall of force, but rather makes shock waves bend around objects, just as some high-tech materials bend light and make things invisible. Brian J. Tillotson, a senior research fellow at Boeing, said the idea occurred to him after noticing the kinds of injuries suffered by soldiers who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. "We were doing a much better job of stopping shrapnel," Tillotson told Live Science. "But they were  coming home with brain injuries ."
