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.
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.
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.
