Optical Communication Systems for Smart Dust
… sensing and communication devises known as "Smart Dust" are described and analyzed. A smart dust element is a self-contained sensing and communication system that can be combined into roughly a cubic-millimeter mote to perform integrated, massively distributed sensor networks. The suitable …

Securing the Future of 5G Smart Dust: Optimizing Cryptographic Algorithms for Ultra-Low SWaP Energy-Harvesting Devices
While 5G energy harvesting makes 5G smart dust possible, stretching computation across power cycles affects cryptographic algorithms. This effect may lead to new security issues that make the system vulnerable to adversary attacks. Therefore, security measures are needed to protect data at rest and …

Determination of correct operation and behaviour of a structured amorphous surface
… surface composed of nanoscale processing units (smart dust). Such a surface (iSurface) can be considered an amorphous computer composed of a large array of identical processing units (iCells) each with its own sensor/effectors. An important requirement of such a surface is the need for a fast, …

Solar radiation pressure, drag and gravitational effects on a dust particle in Earth orbit
… Colombo et. al studied the orbital dynamics of ``smart-dust'' under the effects of SRP and atmospheric drag. The numerical model developed here will expand on that work, but will use Hamiltonian equations of motion instead of Gauss’ equations. This approach easily incorporates forces such as drag, …
