Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is concerned with continuous monitoring of civil and industrial buildings or structures in order to improve human safety and decrease maintenance costs. The SHM scheme provides data about changes induced by aging products, environmental action, or accidental occurrences in a single portion or in the entire structu...

Optical wireless communication (OWC) technologies, such as visible light communication (VLC) and free space optics (FSO) utilize visible spectrum wavelength for high-speed data communication, easing the congestion in lower radio frequency bands that are typically used for wireless communication. With advancements in technologies, OWC is capable of ...

Sensors are vital enablers of the Internet of Things (IoT), allowing a plethora of automated, connected devices that provide continuous feedback about their and can be remotely controlled. Sensors that are able to perform some processing and analysis on a wealth of data to provide the most important information with respect to their surroundings or...

Sensors have the potential to transform any industry owing to the various benefits associated with them. Traditionally, different types of sensors have been deployed for homeland security, which are however undergoing advancements to develop newer technologies such as electronic noses (e-noses) and electronic tongues (e-tongues), which have the cap...

Semiconductors are the fundamental electronic components present in any electronic device and have evolved over time in terms of size and performance. At the core of semiconductors lies in the semiconductor lithography which has facilitated the miniaturization of electronic components. Advancements in lithography technologies with regards to light ...

Digital farming is a developing concept in the field of agriculture. Unlike conventional methods, where the farmers decision making is based on his/her intuition, digital farming provides quantitative suggestion. The data collected using various enabling technologies helps the farmers in recognising outlines, based on which strategic de...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is witnessing a large-scale realization with the growing importance of sensor technologies in healthcare and the increasing consumer demand for non-invasive and continuous monitoring of health parameters. Connected networks are enabling ease of diagnosis in healthcare thereby creating a shift from reactive treatments to...

Asia is one of the largest contributor to global electronics industry with its expertise in semiconductor fabrication. But India has never entered into this scenario even though its is one of the world’s largest consumer of electronic goods. Hence the assessment of the reasons behind the lack of India’s presence in global electronics economy is...

Drones are unmanned aerial vehicles that are finding application opportunities in various industries and have the potential to transform military as well as consumer applications. Drones essentially combine various sensing and communication technologies along with remote control or autonomous capabilities. Drones were initially developed for milita...
