Saudi Arabia Embraces Smart Agriculture to Combat Water Scarcity

Saudi Arabia Embraces Smart Agriculture to Combat Water Scarcity

Saudi Arabia is intensifying its efforts to address severe water scarcity by adopting smart agricultural technologies. The country, which is among the most water-stressed in the world, is experiencing increased pressure on its limited water resources due to climate change and population growth. In response, Saudi Arabia is promoting the use of hydroponics, aquaponics, vertical farming, and high-tech greenhouses. These technologies aim to reduce water consumption significantly while maintaining high agricultural productivity. Hydroponic systems, for instance, can cut water use by up to 90% compared to traditional farming methods. This shift is part of the Kingdom's Vision 2030 goals to expand local food production and ensure sustainable agricultural practices.

Researchers Develop Compact Spin-Torque Microwave Detector with Enhanced Sensitivity

Researchers Develop Compact Spin-Torque Microwave Detector with Enhanced Sensitivity

A team of researchers from China, Italy, and Saudi Arabia has developed a compact spin-torque microwave detector. This innovative device utilizes a magnetoelectric antenna composed of an iron gallium boron/aluminium oxide magnetostrictive top electrode, an aluminium nitride piezoelectric layer, and a molybdenum electrode. The detector boasts a sensitivity to microwave signals exceeding 90 kV W⁻¹ and operates within a range of 510 MHz to 650 MHz. The device's small footprint of 0.4 mm² and its ability to integrate multiple magnetic tunnel junctions enhance its sensitivity, making it a significant advancement in microwave detection technology.
