A Sustainable Antenna Design to Enhance Precision Beamforming Capabilities

The adoption of Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MUMIMO) tech in IEEE 802.11 standards transformed wireless communication, enabling data transmission to multiple users simultaneously. However, traditional antennas struggle to meet MU-MIMO’s precise beamforming needs. Additionally, the environmental impact of non-biodegradable antennas adds complexity. This research introduces an eco-friendly antenna design using biodegradable plant fibers like cotton, hemp, bamboo, and jute. This sustainable antenna not only addresses e-waste concerns but also offers a long-term, eco-conscious solution for precise beamforming. Experimental analysis validates its effectiveness, showcasing the potential to revolutionize wireless tech with minimal environmental impact.

Exploring the Foundations of Consciousness: Nature's Enduring and Fluid Intelligence in its Purest Form

Consciousness remains a philosophical enigma, intertwined with memory yet distinct in its essence. This research aims to elucidate the nature of consciousness by drawing upon examples of its manifestation across various entities in the universe. It contends that consciousness transcends memory, functioning as a fluid intelligence ubiquitous in every level of existence. The paper explores the distinction between memory and consciousness, examining how consciousness pervades all physical entities and operates beyond the realms of wakefulness or awareness. It argues that while language falls short in defining consciousness, entities such as soil, light, water, and even humans serve as conduits to access this pervasive phenomenon.

A Green-Energy Based ‘Hydroponic Charging System’ to Power Digital Devices

The paper proposes a novel green-energy based ‘hydroponic charging system’ design to power digital devices. The system relies on the principle of photosynthesis (PS-I and PS-II) of aquatic plants to derive biochemical current that charges gadgets such as smartphones. The focus lies in harnessing the plant’s ability to convert solar energy into electrical current. The proposed photosynthetic system interfaces with electrodes and electron mediators, transforming light energy into usable electrical power. The developed prototype uses carbon electrodes to capture electrons from a Monstera plant. The results reveal a significant fluctuation in DC voltage (0.40-0.51V) which serves as an indicator of electrical energy generated by plants as part of photosynthesis or response to the external environment.

A Plant-Inspired Organic Photovoltaic Cell

The paper presents a plant-inspired organic photovoltaic (PV) cell that leverages the natural photosynthetic processes of plants to create a sustainable solar energy solution. The solar cell uses chlorophyll and activated charcoal as the main renewable energy ingredient. The photovoltaic material aids in efficient sunlight absorption and energy conversion. The chlorophyll molecules serve as an eco-friendly alternative to conventional silicon-based cells. The study presents a prototype that converts sunlight into mechanical energy. The performance comparison between the standard PV and organic cell reveals that the developed prototype has a better solar energy conversion rate than the traditional silicon chips. Thus, the paper offers a greener and more sustainable option for solar-based applications such as solar water heaters, watches, street lights, solar EVs, and so on.
