Wi-Fi backscattering is a technology that allows devices to communicate by reflectively modulating the signals of an existing Wi-Fi network. This enables devices to communicate without the need for a power-hungry radio transmitter, which greatly extends the battery life of devices. Wi-Fi backscattering can also be used to create ad-hoc mesh networks, which are self-healing … Read more
Vertical farming is a type of agriculture where crops are grown in vertically stacked layers in a controlled environment. Vertical farming uses less land and water than traditional farming methods, and can be used to grow crops in places where traditional farming is not possible, such as in cities. Then, what are the disadvantages of … Read more
