Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Get Off the Grid and Go Green

The inherent irony of using non-renewable energy sources such as oil, gas and coal to power Electric Vehicles (EVs) is not lost on two engineers from India. They explore a charging station method that captures and stores solar and wind energy to charge an EV and test the method in seven cases of differing weather conditions.

Pneumatic Exoskeleton with Adjustable Stiffness Facilitates Both Overhead and Forward Arm Tasks

Despite the increase of automation in industry, work-related musculoskeletal disorders are often seen in overhead and ahead working, resulting in a global occupational health issue. Exoskeletons designed to offset exertion have been introduced as a way to reduce work-related musculoskeletal disorders.

Chemosensory EEG Signals Identify Patients with Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that impairs motor and sensory functions, with early symptoms often involving olfactory dysfunction. According to the Parkinson’s Foundation, making an accurate diagnosis of Parkinson’s, particularly in its early stages, can be difficult. However, the earlier the disease is diagnosed, the earlier a person can receive interventions to slow its progression. 

AI’s Green Thumb: Agritech Apps are Providing Personalized Advice to India’s Small Farmers

India is a deeply agrarian society with roughly 65 percent of the population involved in agriculture. Thanks to the “green revolution” of the 1960s and 1970s, when new crop varieties, fertilizers, and pesticides boosted yields, the country has long been self-sufficient regarding food—an impressive feat for a country of 1.4 billion people. It also exports more than $40 billion worth of foodstuffs annually. But for all its successes, the agricultural sector is also highly inefficient.

A Comprehensive Analysis of Obstacles to Wearable Technology Adoption in Healthcare

The advent of Wearable Technology Devices (WTDs) has been a game-changer in healthcare, particularly among older adults. However, adoption has been slow, and researchers have conducted various studies to understand why.

Generative AI for Semantic Communications: Architecture, Challenges, and Outlook

Superconducting Circuit Technology Developments

Communication and information technology have long been supported by semiconductor integrated circuits (ICs), such as complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. One of the advantages of CMOS is its high density; the transistor size has become smaller year by year, following Moore's law. However, CMOS technology is approaching the limit of physical miniaturization and, in turn, the limit at which switching energy can be reduced through scaling.

Integrating the Skies for 6G

Space-Air-Ground Integrated Network (SAGIN) has emerged as a comprehensive solution to address the increasing demand for ubiquitous and resilient communication networks. This architecture is particularly relevant for extending coverage in remote and traditionally underserved areas beyond the scope of conventional ground-based networks.

AgeTech: Supporting Safe Driving for Older Adults

The automobile is considered essential for transportation in most Western countries. Numerous studies indicate that driving ability declines as people age, especially after 80, leading to increased crash rates and poorer performance on driving tests.

Perspectives Concerning Floating Wind Turbines

Floating wind farms have the potential to significantly increase the sea area available for offshore wind farms, especially in countries with limited shallow waters. Locating wind farms further offshore can also reduce visual pollution, provide better accommodation for fishing and shipping lanes, and reach stronger and more consistent winds.
