Investigation of digital twins and metaverse by Chow, Harry Yun Fatt

“…Individuals, companies, and governmental organisations use BIM to plan, design, build, operate and maintain various physical infrastructures, including water, waste, electricity, gas management facilities, roads, bridges, ports, tunnels, etc. The BIM market is valued at USD 7.9 billion in 2023 [2] and is projected to reach USD 15 billion by 2028[3], indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.7% [4]. …”

Cross-layer host-network co-design for QoS in streamed video data networking by Nan, Ya

“…The transmission path and latency are enforced while maintaining transparency to application servers through SRv6 tunneling. Moreover, a hardware offloading solution based on hash compression is applied to efficiently accelerate packet processing and reduce computation overhead introduced by the system, which is compatible to both the QUIC standard and existing hardware specifics. …”

Biomimetic whisker transducer for vibrissal tactile sensing by Ju, Feng

“…The unique vibrissal tactile perception possessed by rats allows them to explore the surrounding environment actively with their whiskers, and helps them survive and thrive in hostile environments like underground tunnels, where vision becomes of little use. On the other hand, today most robots lack tactile sensing ability and rely on machine vision heavily. …”

Electronic structures of twisted two-dimensional materials studied by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy by Pei, D

“…Here, using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with sub-micron spatial resolution (μ-ARPES) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), we performed a systematic investigation on the electronic structure of 5.1° twisted bilayer WSe2, which was previously reported to host correlated insulating and zero-resistance states. …”
