The same type of energy that has been travelling through the universe since the beginning of time is now powering your mobile phone, Wi Fi, and other smart devices. Electromagnetic energy (EME) makes mobile phone calls possible, enables content streaming and keeps us connected in real time.
In this engaging 3 part video series, renowned science communicator Dr Karl Kruszelnicki takes viewers on a journey through the history of EME, from its origins to its role in modern telecommunications.
The series highlights how EME underpins the telecommunications systems we rely on every day. From early radio broadcasts to today's high‑speed mobile networks, Dr Karl explains the science in a way that is both accessible and informative.
The videos also emphasise that telecommunications technology operates within strict safety standards, supported by decades of scientific research conducted in Australia and around the world.
