New materials and techniques for collecting power from radio waves could spur mass battery-free IoT sensors.
Researchers found some subscription VPN services have programming errors that cause leaks, monitor user traffic, and lack privacy policies — all reasons to set up your own VPN server.
New light absorption techniques in semiconductors get clock rates 5,000 times faster than current PCs. It’s one more step towards an all-light computing environment.
A completely new government-developed computer architecture could ultimately lead to widespread, commercial-oriented data-security fixes as information moves between systems.
Studying how tree frogs regulate their communications, so each amphibian in the colony can hear everything, could provide ideal data traffic routings, scientists say.
An unclonable, quantum physics-driven microprocessor might be the solution to securing the Internet of Things.
IoT security could shift to the network level, especially the edge, as the need for data anonymization and customized security becomes essential.
Supply chain, automotive, and sales of industrial sensor data emerge as initial use-case contenders for blockchain and its ilk in the Internet of Things.
LeoSat plans to build a constellation of low-orbit satellites that provides max transmission speed of 5.2 gigabits per second and latency of 20 milliseconds.
Transistors, superconductors, and chip design have all seen efficiency breakthroughs this year. So much so, that we may see the cold-running computer before too long.
