Paint made in Japan blocks Wi-Fi | Crave - CNET
This might be unneighborly, since it'd mean that your nosy neighbors can't piggyback off your wireless connection anymore.
But for the price of a can of house paint, this may very well be one of the most cost-effective ways to secure your office wireless network against hackers and freeloaders, particularly in a time of thrift.
Researchers at the University of Tokyo have blended paint with aluminium iron oxide, which has been found to resonate at the same frequencies used by Wi-Fi, thus canceling out any electromagnetic waves in that frequency. It sounds like really cool Minority Report stuff.
I have about 4 neighbors' emanations , that my wireless router can detect, so I suppose they can detect my wi-fi signal as well. Mine is digitally encryted with a password, however, I don't know about the rest of them.
Interesting.
