Researchers have demonstrated a new X-ray technique that can use a single optical component to create detailed images and visualize a material’s chemical properties, potentially making advanced X-ray experiments faster and easier. The study showed that the approach could image circular samples about 27 times faster than a traditional point-by-point scan, while also capturing a … Read more

Modernizing public key infrastructure (PKI) is becoming increasingly urgent as organizations prepare for the security risks posed by quantum computing. PKI provides a framework for creating, managing, and revoking digital certificates that establish trust across digital networks. As quantum computing advances, companies must prepare to replace vulnerable public-key cryptography in their systems. “Prioritize migration to … Read more

Eight years ago, chipmaker Marvell Technology Inc. decided to take a leap of faith with nanometers, and things have been going uphill ever since. In semiconductor manufacturing, nanometer designations denote generations of chip-making technology, called process nodes, rather than the precise physical dimensions of transistors. Advanced process nodes generally enable higher transistor density as well … Read more
South Korean battery giant Samsung SDI has signed a new agreement to supply the US with one gigawatt-hour (GWh) of batteries that have 17 percent higher energy density and a lifespan of 25 years. As part of the collaboration, the Yongin-based company will supply its Samsung Battery Box (SBB) 1.7 to Alpha Omega Power (AOP), … Read more
A new way to play: Tears of the Kingdom can now appear as its own app with an icon on an iPhone’s home screen.
