Cybersecurity Flaws Could Derail High-profile Cycling Races
High-end bicycles used for high-profile road races such as the Tour de France are vulnerable to cybersecurity attacks targeting the bike’s wireless gear shifting system.
The researchers are now working with Shimano, one of the leading bicycle component manufacturers, to patch the vulnerabilities.
FAU Teams Up with Shipwreck Park for Underwater Public Project, ‘Wahoo Bay’
Several years in the making, Wahoo Bay will serve partly as an educational marine park as well as an initiative to restore the natural habitat. Using AI and sensors, FAU engineers and students will deploy automated weather monitoring stations, underwater cameras, vehicles, acoustic and water quality monitoring sensors in Wahoo Bay, a “living” laboratory that provides an immersive experience for visitors while raising awareness of keeping oceans and coral reef systems healthy.
Expert: 2023 Could Bring More IoT Security Threats
Experts predict that 2023 will bring more true high-speed 5G experience. However, as one expert notes, the expansion of 5G technology and more devices accessing the internet could bring new security threats. “There is a slew of new security threats,…
New biobatteries use bacterial interactions to generate power for weeks
Researchers at Binghamton University, State University of New York have developed a “plug-and-play” biobattery that lasts for weeks at a time and can be stacked to improve output voltage and current.
NSF Tags FAU Researcher for Post-quantum Cryptography in NextG Networks
FAU’s Reza Azarderakhsh, Ph.D., was among 34 investigators nationwide selected by the NSF for RINGS, which is short for Resilient and Intelligent Next-Generation Systems. His project is the only one working on taking post-quantum cryptography to next generation systems.
The biodegradable battery
The number of data-transmitting microdevices, for instance in packaging and transport logistics, will increase sharply in the coming years. All these devices need energy, but the amount of batteries would have a major impact on the environment. Empa researchers have developed a biodegradable mini-capacitor that can solve the problem. It consists of carbon, cellulose, glycerin and table salt. And it works reliably.
An evolutionary game approach to IoT task offloading in fog-cloud computing
Abstract Developing the edge and fog computing has been the result of the fast growth of cloud-based IoT applications. These new paradigms define new resource management problems such as IoT task offloading challenge. Despite the many conducted effort in the…
The Internet of Things Brings a Web of Promises and Perils to the Smart Grid, Experts Say
PNNL researchers established an Internet of Things Common Operating Environment (IoTCOE) laboratory to explore the risks associated with IoT connectivity to the internet, the energy grid and other critical infrastructures.
Organic Memory Devices Show Promise for Flexible, Wearable, Personalized Computing
The advent of artificial intelligence, machine learning and the internet of things is expected to change modern electronics. The pressing question for many researchers is how to handle this technological revolution. Brain-inspired electronics with organic memristors could offer a functionally promising and cost- effective platform. Since memristors are functionally analogous to the operation of neurons, the computing units in the brain, they are optimal candidates for brain-inspired computing platforms.
A Faster Way To Replace Inaccurate Information On Social Networks
Researchers have demonstrated a new model of how competing pieces of information spread in online social networks and the Internet of Things. The findings may be used to disseminate accurate information more quickly, displacing false information on anything from computer security to public health.
Recipe for Neuromorphic Processing Systems?
The field of “brain-mimicking” neuromorphic electronics shows great potential for basic research and commercial applications, and researchers in Germany and Switzerland recently explored the possibility of reproducing the physics of real neural circuits by using the physics of silicon. In Applied Physics Letters, they present their work to understand neural processing systems, as well as a recipe to reproduce these computing principles in mixed signal analog/digital electronics and novel materials.
New chip brings ultra-low power Wi-Fi connectivity to IoT devices
More portable, fully wireless smart home setups. Lower power wearables. Batteryless smart devices. These could all be made possible thanks to a new ultra-low power Wi-Fi radio developed by UC San Diego engineers. It enables Wi-Fi communication at 5,000 times less power than commercial Wi-Fi radios.
Research Reveals Internet Crime Becoming More Sophisticated and Persistent in Florida and Other Large States
Researchers identify the top states as having the largest victim monetary losses and number of victims, and their report shows online crime trends in the last four years before 2019 (2015 to 2018) for the six top states with the highest internet crime activity.
IEEE selects UAH’s Jovanov as Fellow for wearable health monitoring contributions
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has selected Dr. Emil Jovanov, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), as a Fellow for his contributions to the field of wearable health monitoring.
Expanding the use of AI on internet-of-things hardware
Ever wonder why your smart phone can do facial recognition, but your smart watch can’t? UD’s Chengmo Yang is researching ways to support neural networks in low-power embedded systems by using emerging memory devices that can retrieve information even when powered off, and furthermore minimize errors.
