With cybersecurity one of the nation’s top security concerns and billions of people affected by breaches last year, government and businesses are spending more time and money defending against it. Researchers at…
Chinese scientists have synthesized new nanowires with high carrier mobility and fast infrared light (IR) response, which could help in high-speed communication. Their findings were published in Nature Communications. Nowadays, effective optical communications…
Tohoku University researchers have developed an algorithm that enhances the ability of a Canadian-designed quantum computer to more efficiently find the best solution for complicated problems, according to a study published in…
Beneath many cities are complex networks of optical fibers that carry data, encoded in pulses of light, to offices and homes. Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Singtel, Asia’s…
New adversarial techniques developed by engineers at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) can make objects “invisible” to image detection systems that use deep-learning algorithms. These techniques can also trick systems into thinking they…
Yanfang (Fanny) Ye, assistant professor of computer science and electrical engineering at West Virginia University, has been awarded a prestigious CAREER award from the National Science Foundation in support of her work to enhance the…
Cybercriminals can run, but they cannot hide from their digital fingerprints. Still, cybercrimes reached a six-year high in 2017, when more than 300,000 people in the United States fell victim to such…
In early 2018, cybersecurity researchers discovered two security flaws they said were present in almost every high-end processor made and used by major companies. Known, ominously, as Spectre and Meltdown, these flaws…
The motto “united we stand, divided we fall” has found new application in an unlikely discipline – in cyber security. Machines – from simple ones like a personal computer to a complex…
While an empty email inbox is something many people strive for, most of us are not successful. And that means that we probably have stored away hundreds, even thousands, of emails that…
