To further advance wireless communication systems, electronics engineers have been trying to develop new electronic circuits that operate in the microwave frequency range (1–300 GHz), while also losing little energy while transmitting signals. Ideally, these circuits should also be more compact than existing solutions, as this would help to reduce... Read more

A team led by academician Huang Ru and Professor Wu Yanqing from the School of Integrated Circuits at Peking University has developed a super-thin, high-performance semiconductor with enhanced heat conductivity, enabled by a silicon carbide (SiC) substrate. The research, published in Nature Electronics under the title "Amorphous indium tin oxide... Read more

If you pass by a café that operates a Wi-Fi network, you can be identified—even if you do not carry a smartphone with you. Researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have found out that it is possible to identify people solely through Wi-Fi signals. They point out that this... Read more

Verizon has signed a deal to provide cellular service from space through AST SpaceMobile beginning next year.... Read more

A framework for building tighter security into 5G wireless communications has been created by a Ph.D. student working with the University of Portsmouth's Artificial Intelligence and Data Center.... Read more

When we post to a group chat or talk to an AI chatbot, we don't think about how these technologies came to be. We take it for granted we can instantly communicate. We only notice the importance and reach of these systems when they're not accessible.... Read more

With the rollout of fifth-generation (5G) telecommunications networks and 6G looming on the horizon, the demand for advanced materials that can handle high-frequency signals is rising rapidly. These systems use electromagnetic waves ranging from tens to hundreds of gigahertz (GHz), where signals are highly sensitive to transmission loss, interference, and... Read more
