Biodegradable nanorobots meet edge computing: Sustainable intelligence in the soil

January 8, 2026 by Arya Upadhyay

Abstract: This article explores the integration of biodegradable nanorobots and edge computing as a sustainable approach to environmental monitoring. Traditional cloud-based systems consume extensive energy for data transmission and computation, creating a paradox where digital progress contributes to ecological degradation. By embedding computation directly into eco-friendly, … [Read more...] about Biodegradable nanorobots meet edge computing: Sustainable intelligence in the soil

Nanoscale on-chip inductors using a linearized meminductive circuit

April 6, 2023 by Ahmed M. Alaa

This work presents a novel RF on-chip inductor that overcomes the problems with conventional large-sized inductors, which cannot be placed in an integrated circuit (IC) for large inductance values. The proposed inductor depends mainly on the meminductor, a new passive circuit element that has memory properties. This new circuit element is argued to be common in the nanoscale, … [Read more...] about Nanoscale on-chip inductors using a linearized meminductive circuit

Privacy implications of facial recognition technology

Facial recognition technology (FRT) has experienced enormous growth and rapid deployment across different sectors of the society in recent years, mostly motivated by safety, security, and commercial applications. However, major privacy questions arise around this technology, and regulators are still working to provide clear set of rules governing its use. This paper focuses on privacy implications of FRT usage. Specifically, we first present the definition of FRT, followed by an analysis of the vulnerability and risks that can potentially arise and how they might be concerning in such context. Finally, we discuss efforts needed to mitigate privacy concerns related to FRT, from both technical and regulatory perspectives.
