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.

Temperature Sensing Elements for Harsh Environments

Accurate temperature sensing is crucial for numerous applications, from consumer electronics to industrial fields. While traditional temperature sensors, such as thermocouples, thermistors, and resistive temperature detectors (RTDs), are accurate and reliable, they are relatively large in dimension. These bulky sensors are unsuitable when a measurement system needs to be highly integrated and miniaturized.

The Benefits of Brain-Inspired Computing

Brain-inspired computing (BIC) is an emerging research field that aims to build fundamental theories, models, hardware architectures, and application systems toward more general artificial intelligence (AI) by learning from the information processing mechanisms of biological nervous systems. It is regarded as one of the most promising research directions for future intelligent computing in the post-Moore era.

Recent Advances in Graphene Pressure Sensor Technology

Graphene and its derivatives, with their unique mechanical and electrical properties, are promising materials for developing high-performance pressure sensors. These sensors hold the potential to revolutionize industrial, healthcare, consumer electronics, and automotive safety applications, ushering in a new era of sensor technology.

New Directions in Vehicle Communications

Recently, the research community's focus has shifted to new directions in 5G and 6G wireless networks. This shift, driven by advances in the automotive industry and the growing demand for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs), is ushering in a new era of networked wireless systems. The promise of CAVs to deliver safer travel, reduced pollution, and optimized solutions is a compelling driver for this transformation. 

Reaching Toward the Metaverse

The advent of the Metaverse concept has expedited the evolution of haptic, tactile internet, and multimedia applications with their VR/AR/XR services. Fully immersive sensing is likely to define the next generation of wireless networks as a key to realizing the vision of the Metaverse. The potential economic impact of the Metaverse is significant, with the total market projected to reach between US$8-13 trillion by 2030. Furthermore, Gartner predicts that 25% of people will spend at least one hour daily on the Metaverse platform for personal and professional purposes.

Advances in Cancer Detection

Breast cancer represents 12.5% of all newly diagnosed cancer cases globally, establishing it as the most prevalent form of cancer worldwide. It accounts for around 30% of all newly diagnosed female cancers in the United States.

At the Crossroads of Logistics and Corporate Social Responsibility

A Vision of 6G URLLC

The emergence of 6G communication heralds a new era of possibilities, enabling critical applications like traffic detection, forest fire recognition, emergency search and rescue, and widespread communication broadcasting. However, what sets 6G apart is its demand for a robust communication framework with ultra-low latency, a feature that will revolutionize these services. 

Motion Tracking Framework for Intuitive Interactions

For tasks that are difficult to accomplish with traditional interactive devices, this significantly improves the efficiency of human-computer interaction. It can be widely used in military, entertainment, sports, medical applications, robot technology, and even the metaverse. Still, existing technology for finger motion tracking often requires wearing a heavy device and a laborious calibration process to track the bending angle of each joint.
