The phenomenal success of our integrated circuits managed to obscure an awkward fact: they’re not always the best way to solve problems. The features of modern computers—binary operations, separated ...

A new technique that efficiently retrieves scattered light from fluorescent sources can be used to record neuronal signals coming from deep within the brain. The technique, developed by physicists at ...

Building on a landmark algorithm, researchers propose a way to make a smaller and more noise-tolerant quantum factoring circuit for cryptography. The most recent email you sent was likely encrypted ...

This obviously would render all prime-factor based cryptography algorithms obsolete. I have warned the FBI about this for a while, however; what everyone wanted from me was an algorithm that does ...
