European airplane maker Airbus is one company exploring virus-spotting IoT sensors in an attempt to keep COVID-19-infected passengers off planes.
Unlocked Wi-Fi spectrum in the 6 GHz band, just approved by the FCC, will do more than increase capacity. IoT will be a big gainer.
Scavenging energy by foraging for metal could power Internet of Things electronics and robots, suggest researchers at University of Pennsylvania.
Lasers will be used to power underwater devices and transmit data below the ocean's surface.
Magnetic fields found naturally around electrical devices could be diverted and converted into electricity to power the IoT.
Artificial intelligence will play an important role in how future networks become sliced, supporting multiple uses, including IoT and private 5G networks.
Insect brains are a better model for artificial intelligence in IoT than human brains are because they are simpler and focus on key processes, scientists say.
Scientists think that in much the same way the human body releases perspiration to cool down, special materials might release water to draw heat from electronics.
Two new microprocessors from Arm promise to miniaturize artificial intelligence.
Geely is developing a satellite network to provide high-bandwidth wireless needed by on-board applications in self-driving vehicles.
