by National University of Singapore Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a method for secure communication that uses quantum mechanics to encrypt information. While the security of QKD is unbreakable in principle, if it is incorrectly implemented, vital information could still be stolen by attackers. These are known as side-channel attacks, where the attackers exploit weaknesses…

Today’s personal computer (PC) is far more powerful than its predecessor from previous generations and, unlike PCs of the past, can handle numerous operations at once, but it is no match for a supercomputer. The supercomputer is like asking 100 million PCs to work on a complex problem. Supercomputers have many processors that split problems…

Computers have got faster over time, much faster, and it’s not just about the speed that an individual processor can perform calculations, they also have many more processors, all performing different calculations at the same time. Quantum computing is something different entirely, its not about performing arithmetic faster, its an entirely new way of computing…

 By Theresa Duque Nitrogen dioxide, an air pollutant emitted by fossil fuel-powered cars and gas-burning stoves is not only bad for the climate – it’s bad for our health. Long-term exposure to NO2 has been linked to increased heart disease, respiratory diseases such as asthma, and infections. Nitrogen dioxide is odorless and invisible – so…
