Advancing Sustainability in Smart Manufacturing

The term “Industry 4.0” refers to the integration of digital technologies into industrial environments. New technologies have had a profound impact on manufacturing, as intelligent systems generate exponentially increasing amounts of data and require a higher level of workforce expertise.

Vertical Farming: Addressing Food Scarcity and Environmental Constraints in Urban Environments

Vertical farming can address the growing challenges of food scarcity, limited arable land, and environmental constraints in urban areas, which are shaped by rising populations and climate change. When implemented correctly, this method has the potential to eliminate the extensive use of arable land. Some key benefits include year-round crop production with minimal reliance on weather, reduced pesticide dependence, and efficient water use through closed-loop systems. 

AI on the Road: Shaping the Next Generation of Motorway Systems

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is fundamentally transforming transportation infrastructure, redefining how motorways are planned and operated worldwide. Intelligent motorways, equipped with AI systems, are not merely visions of a distant future but a reality in many parts of the world.

Scientometric Analysis of Artificial Intelligence Applications in Smart City

As anyone in a science field knows, research is critical to advancing knowledge, testing theories, and driving innovation. The authors of this paper wanted to understand the impact of research in the field of artificial intelligence on the development of smart cities. 

Artificial Intelligence for Green Agriculture and Sustainable Resource Management: A Comprehensive Overview

The increasing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in areas related to sustainability is having a positive impact on the management of the world’s resources. From agriculture and energy to waste management and biodiversity conservation, AI is playing a key role in identifying ways to increase the efficiency of new programs.

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.

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.

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.

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.
