With the particular needs of scientists and engineers in mind, researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have co-designed with Micron a new hardware-software architecture purpose-built for science.This article was originally published […]

In computer security, random numbers are crucial values that must be unpredictable—such as secret keys or initialization vectors (IVs)—forming the foundation of security systems. To achieve this, deterministic random bit generators (DRBGs) are used, which […]

Yiming Zhang didn’t grow up playing chess. Like many other people, the Carnegie Mellon University Ph.D. student discovered the Netflix series “The Queen’s Gambit” during the pandemic and began playing online. However, he quickly realized […]

Storm surges or collapsing dams—authentic simulations of water flows are not only important for special effects in disaster movies, but could also help to protect coastal regions. For more realistic simulations of fluid motions, researchers […]

A key objective of behavioral science research is to better understand how people make decisions in situations where outcomes are unknown or uncertain, which entail a certain degree of risk.This article was originally published on […]

When you think of “time-lapse video,” what usually springs to mind is a camera fixed on a tripod taking image after image at predetermined intervals. But what if you could do the same thing by […]

A team of University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers and computer scientists has identified vulnerabilities in popular automation apps that can make it easy for an abuser to stalk individuals, track their cellphone activity, or even control […]
