I asked about whether the low power typologies still hot research topics. Also, the most popular research topics in the field of digital and analog electronics engineering that belong to novelty in system design.
Adding to Rasim in digital electronics there is the nanoelectronic devices structures, characterization and realization technology. Then the circuits based on them to build nanoelectronic systems. This is extension of the device down scaling to reduce the power, the area and increase the speed.
In the system level there is the system on chip and design for testing where one adds test functions for the self diagnosis.
In the analog circuits there is the wide band and the ultra wide band analog circuits for the application in the communication and instrumentation system.
In this context there are the front ends of the new communication wireless and wired communication standards operating at low power, large bandwidth, low noise and high frequency.
The applications on biomedical and the internet of things and others require also new devices and building blocks.So, new applications are required that may be many fold more complicated than the state of the art.
You can revise the review papers in analog, digital and rf electronics in the journal of solid sate circuits, ieee transactions on electronic devices, the consumer electronics and the ieee transactions on circuits and systems.
Your question, this typical question for young scientists. The issue of energy consumption has always been and will remain relevant at all times. However, this question was not once the most urgent. Today, the most relevant in the field of digital electronics, this nanoelectronics and photon electronics, i.e. speed and high integration (smaller dimensions), and in the field of analog electronics the main problem was and remains the problem of adaptation to the object of measurement and measurement accuracy and fast response.

I agree with the answers of both Rasim Nabiyev and Abdelhalim abdelnaby Zekry ,
Without anywhere near the same level of experience, my answer would still be similar.
I feel that the field of molecular logic gates and nanogap devices will be very interesting in the next few decades. There will be applications both in compution and biosensing. Knowledge of electronics, physics and material processing/characterisation (i.e., nanofabrication) will be incredibly valuable within this domain.
I agree with the answers of both Rasim Nabiyev and my professor Abdelhalim Zekry. Also, the quantum devices characterization and applications are very important such as memristors
I agree that neural networks is the future. Please read my paper (The correlation matrix factorization and using the rotation matrix theta to learn the square root adaptive filter with computer simulation).
