When quantum computers forget: Overcoming decoherence
Quantum computing faces many technology challenges, but some researchers say they’ll be solved soon to usher in the Quantum Decade.
LoRa takes a trip to the moon and back, chirping all the way
LoRa wireless that's used in IoT networks is known as a low-power, long-range technology—long-range enough to carry a message between Earth and the moon.
Drone demo shows it’s possible to protect 5G-managed devices from DDoS, exfiltration attacks
Using software developed by the Open Networking Foundation, Stanford researchers thwart wireless attacks in less than a second.
For networking pros, every month is Cybersecurity Awareness Month
Network security shouldn't be just a set of routine tactical chores to maintain safeguards already in place, but a constant strategizing to anticipate the next threat.
The new internet speed record twice as fast as the old one
Researchers in Japan hit long-haul data-transmission rates of 319Tbps.
Are Tesla’s Dojo supercomputer claims valid?
If accurate, the performance of Tesla’s homegrown supercomputer as measured in FLOPS outperforms the recognized world’s fastest supercomputer by a factor of two.
Wi-Fi 7 is coming, and Intel makes it sound great
The next generation of Wi-Fi is at least three years off, but Intel predicts it will be up to five times faster
Don’t let subdomains sink your security
Subdomain takeover is a DNS problem that can hurt the credibility of your organization, and too many enterprises let it continue.
Experimental Morpheus CPU is ‘mind-bogglingly terrible’ to crack
Researchers say their Morpheus processor changes its underlying implementation hundreds of times per second, giving attackers a very small time window to create and execute exploits.
Could antiferromagnetic chips replace silicon?
Attractive properties of antiferromagnetic memory would include greater density of transistors than silicon provides and be immune to magnets erasing data.
The timeline for quantum computing is getting shorter
New financial-trading algorithms promise quantum-computer performance improvements over classical computers within 5-10 years rather than 10-20.
Next-gen networks: Feds have cash for good ideas
The National Science foundation will be doling out research dollars for innovations in software-defined networking, network function virtualization, cloud computing, analytics, more.
5G research by DARPA will lead to commercial applications
5G has a wealth of features suitable for Department of Defense uses, but its vulnerability to cyber attack calls for bulletproof security.
Researchers: Quantum computers can reason
Like humans, quantum computers can make decisions even in the face of incomplete data and uncertainty.
6G: Vast and mysterious promises
6G wireless may be a decade away, but it’s already expected to support terabit speeds, power mobile devices, and enable mobile holograms.
Scientists work to lower costs of using quantum computers
Superconductor researchers at MIT are working on the nano-cryotron, a computer switch that could reduce the cost of making and running quantum computers.
IoT security tips and a cautionary tale
The US government is working toward establishing IoT security guidelines, and a very public dispute about a particular IoT device demonstrates why they are necessary.
Lessons that insurrection selfies hold for legitimate enterprises
While electronic metadata is helping law enforcement track those who assaulted Congress, existence of that data should be noted by businesses concerned about privacy.
