Proclaimed as “Art Come Alive”, At the Venice, Biennale, UCI professors Nicolau(left) and Veidenbaum(right) stand next to a composite of Nicolae Ceausescu.When asked “Who are you?”, Nothing happens. Not at first. “I was Ceausescu,” the painting suddenly responds, “secretary of the party and president of our country. You should have known that.” Now Ceausescu, or at least a digital composite of him, is “alive” again and answers questions from visitors who pass through the Romanian Institute of Culture and Humanistic Research in Venice, Italy.

Fifth-generation cellular networks and devices are still in the earliest stages of launching across the world, but research on the next generation — 6G — is already underway. Today, researchers at the University of California, Irvine’s Nanoscale Communication Integrated Circuits Labs announced that they’ve created a tiny radio chip that can send and receive data in the 100GHz frequency range, which is expected to be the basis for future 6G communications standards.

CECS Professor Mohammad al Faruque, along with a group of graduate students (Arnav Malawade, John Chaput, and Sina Faezi), discovered that it is possible to record subtle sounds of a DNA synthesis machine, then reverse-engineering whatever genetic materials the machine is making. In other words, it is possible to hack such a machine by listening to it. Faruque’s accomplishments are featured in the New York Times and Wired. To read more, please see here (Wired), here (NY Times) or here (IEEE).
Last month, Intelligence 2025, the sixth annual UC Irvine/Tel Aviv University workshop, took place in Tel Aviv, Israel. This year’s event was dedicated to artificial intelligence and smart systems. Since these two fields will have a large impact on people around the world within the next several years, workshop organizers believe that these will help being a higher quality of life to those in developed and under-developed nations.
