Researchers from Monash, Swinburne, and RMIT universities have successfully tested and recorded Australia’s fastest internet data speed, and that of the world, from a single optical chip — capable of downloading 1000 high-definition movies in a split second. Published in the prestigious journa...

Aquatic internet that sends data through light beams could enable divers to instantly transmit footage from under the sea to the surface. The internet is an indispensable communication tool, connecting tens of billions of devices worldwide, and yet we struggle to connect to the web from under water....

Everactive presents the factory of the future, batteries not included. Many analysts have predicted an explosion in the number of industrial “internet of things” (IoT) devices that will come online over the next decade. Sensors play a big role in those forecasts. Unfortunately, sensors come with the...

The world’s fastest data transmission rate has been achieved by a team of University College London engineers who reached an internet speed a fifth faster than the previous record. Working with two companies, Xtera and KDDI Research, the research team led by Dr. Lidia Galdino (UCL Electronic & E...

Advance could enable artificial intelligence on household appliances while enhancing data security and energy efficiency. Deep learning is everywhere. This branch of artificial intelligence curates your social media and serves your Google search results. Soon, deep learning could also check your vit...

Benton Calhoun SM ’02 PhD ’06 and David Wentzloff SM ’02 PhD ’07 are co-founders of Everactive, which uses wireless sensing to provide continuous remote monitoring for the industrial internet of things. When Ben Calhoun and Dave Wentzloff co-founded Everactive in 2012, analys...

With thousands of satellites, each network could beam down tens of terabits per second, filling gaps left by land-based services. In recent months, people have reported seeing a parade of star-like points passing across the night sky. The formation is not extraterrestrial, or even astrophysical in o...

Global network of solar-powered servers shows how. The energy requirements of the Internet, the devices and systems using it and the servers that support it are responsible for greenhouse gas emissions equal to that of the global airline industry, and this carbon cost is growing rapidly with the exp...

In an effort to reduce disparities, the University of Chicago Data Science Institute launches a data portal to guide research, policy, and community action. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 authorized $65 billion in funding to expand broadband access and adoption, as well as addres...

A study found that many developing nations are vulnerable to Internet attacks due to reliance on few providers and state-owned transit systems. About 25% of the world’s Internet users live in countries that are more vulnerable to targeted attacks on their Internet infrastructure than previously thou...

Wirelessly powered large-area electronics could enable a cheaper and greener internet of things. Emerging forms of thin-film device technologies that rely on alternative semiconductor materials, such as printable organics, nanocarbon allotropes, and metal oxides, could contribute to a more economica...
