The Internet of Things is an emerging revolution in the ICT sector under which interconnecting physical objects communicate with each other and/or with humans over the internet in order to offer a given service. IoT devices consist of sensors, processing, and communications subsystems that require power which can be provided …

The transmission loss of the light passing through the optical fiber is a very small value of less than 0.2 dB per km with a light wavelength in the 1,550 nm band. Therefore clearest optical fibers can transmit signals more than 100 kilometers without amplification-much farther than copper wires. When …

World economic growth will lead to strong energy demands and consumption. U.S. Energy Information Administration’s latest International Energy Outlook 2017 (IEO2017) projects that world energy consumption will grow by 28% between 2015 and 2040. Most of this growth is expected to come from countries that are not in the Organization …

Quantum mechanics is the fundamental theory that describes the properties of subatomic particles, atoms, molecules, molecular assemblies and possibly beyond. Quantum technology (QT) deal with practical applications of quantum mechanical properties—especially quantum entanglement, quantum superposition and quantum tunnelling—applied to quantum systems such as atoms, ions, electrons, photons, molecules or various …

Airship is a type of lighter-than-air aircraft which can navigate through the air under its own power. They are different from Aerostats that gain their lift from large gas bags filled with a lifting gas that is less dense than the surrounding air. Historically, airships have been used in applications …

Deep Neural networks (DNN) or large virtual networks of simple information-processing units, which are loosely modeled on the anatomy of the human brain have been responsible for many exciting advances in artificial intelligence in recent years. The deep learning (DL) algorithms allow high-level abstraction from the data, and this is helpful for …

DARPA has been developing Artificial Intelligence (AI) based technology under the Air Combat Evolution (ACE) program to assist pilots in dogfighting by taking over low-level maneuvering tasks from fighter pilots. In August 2020, the agency reported that an Artificial Intelligence has defeated Human Lockheed F-16 Pilot In Virtual Dogfight sponsored …
