Stick that in your Strava: the IoT systems protecting runners from self-driving cars
With driverless taxi services poised to expand across European cities this year, a new study is urging operators to equip vehicles with IoT enabled on-board traffic lights to signal to runners and pedestrians when it is safe to cross. Researchers…
The rise of connected stealth drones: autonomous UAVs and airborne IoT networks
When most people think of IoT, they picture factories, logistics hubs, or smart cities — not aircraft flying at 45,000 feet. Yet information on the latest unmanned aerial vehicles deployed by national defence agencies around the world shows just how…
From TV remotes to CCTV: e-peas pushes battery-free devices into the mainstream
As pressure mounts on the electronics industry to address the environmental and safety risks of batteries, e-peas is positioning itself at the centre of a shift towards energy harvesting and more sustainable power solutions. Founded to develop ultra-low-power semiconductor solutions,…
Cybersecurity’s human cost: high stress and job insecurity haunt tech teams
Cyber security specialists are paid to be paranoid. Every day they anticipate sophisticated attacks, patch vulnerabilities, and stay one step ahead of criminals. But a new survey suggests that the paranoia many feel is no longer confined to the digital…
Amazon rolls out Alexa+ in the UK, bringing AI to the smart home
Owners of Amazon’s Echo smart speakers in the UK are set to receive an AI-powered upgrade that could reshape interactions across the smart home. Branded Alexa+, the update equips the assistant to manage connected devices more intelligently, follow multi-turn interactions,…
Quantum pioneers Bennett and Brassard win 2025 Turing Award: securing the IoT future
Charles H. Bennett and Gilles Brassard have been named recipients of the 2025 ACM A.M. Turing Award for their ground-breaking work in quantum information science, a field that is reshaping secure communication and computing and has major implications for the…
SIMCom strips LTE from smart AI modules as IoT connectivity standards fragment
For companies running vast fleets of IoT devices, the biggest headache is no longer the sensors themselves—it’s figuring out how those devices will stay connected over the next decade. Mads Fischer, European Sales Director at SIMCom, says fleet owners are…
