In a major milestone, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has published the world’s first post-quantum cryptography standards, developed by IBM in collaboration with industry partners. Two algorithms, ML-KEM and ML-DSA, were created by IBM researchers, while a third, SLH-DSA, was co-developed by a researcher who later joined IBM.

Whenever we talk about end-to-end encrypted data, we’re usually talking about messaging apps like iMessage, Signal, WhatsApp, and Google’s RCS. But plenty of other data is encrypted to ensure attackers can’t access it. Think of data in transit from your devices to servers (or vice versa), your bank account, government secrets, and more.

Quantum computing will break existing encryption algorithms, so the US government developed stronger ones

In the world of digital data, and now quantum communication, security has always been a moving target, constantly evolving to meet new challenges. As technology advances at an unprecedented pace, so do the threats that can compromise our confidential information, making it more crucial than ever to stay ahead of potential attacks.

Human intelligence can be summarized as the way a function is used, in this case, memory. Simply, intelligence is defined as the quality of usage, of what is available in memory. Usually, new information shapes decision-making. However, if the new information cannot be relayed to other parts—of memory—the information may...

Scientists from Yale University and the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a systematic approach to understanding how energy is lost from the materials that make up qubits. Energy loss inhibits the performance of these quantum computer building blocks, so determining its sources—and adjusting the materials as necessary—can help bring researchers closer to designing quantum computers that could revolutionize several scientific fields.

The potential for quantum computing to transform various scientific domains, including pharmaceuticals, is undeniable. However, the application of quantum computing in drug discovery has primarily been limited to proof-of-concept studies that often fail to capture the intricacies of real-world drug development challenges. In this study, researchers diverge from conventional investigations by developing a hybrid quantum computing pipeline tailored to address genuine drug design problems. This approach underscores the application of quantum computation in drug discovery and propels it towards more scalable systems.

No further specifics were given, but these schemes typically involve fraudsters tricking employees at a company — often in finance or with access to the executive suite — into initiating a bank transfer of company funds to a bank account controlled by the fraudsters. These schemes can involve the hacking of email accounts used by executives to send fraudulent instructions to staff on their behalf, or even use deepfakes in efforts to trick unsuspecting employees into transferring funds.

The concept of a quantum internet has been gaining momentum in recent years, with researchers working towards creating a network that can securely transmit information using the principles of quantum mechanics. To achieve this goal, a team of researchers has developed QuIP, a P4-based Quantum Internet Protocol prototyping framework for designing and implementing quantum network protocols. This platform-agnostic framework provides the means to flexibly define device architectures against which quantum network protocols can be implemented, allowing researchers to design and implement protocols without being tied to a specific simulator or hardware.

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized research and precision medicine by enabling the simultaneous sequencing of large quantities of DNA. However, challenges like slow turnaround times, high costs, data overload, and insufficient real-time testing capabilities have hindered its full potential. Results can often take days or even weeks, delaying crucial diagnoses and treatments.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday. The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.
