This is now the best encryption method for IoT devices, experts claim
Home News Computing (Image credit: Shutterstock) After four years of testing, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has announced its favorite encryption method for “lightweight cryptography”, designed to work on low-powered IoT devices.Connected IoT devices, like wearables, smart home gadgets and even vehicle-to-vehicle technologies are all around us, and key to their
New experimental method IR-DOSY reveals molecular structure and size
IR-DOSY spectra of a mixture of acetone and dialanine, showing which IR peak belongs to which compound. Credit: HIMS Researchers at the University of Amsterdam have developed a novel approach to infrared spectroscopy that enables simultaneous characterization of molecular structure and size. Called Infrared Diffusion-Ordered Spectroscopy (IR-DOSY), the method nicely separates molecules with different sizes

New Contraceptive Method: Trapping Sperm in Semen’s Natural Gel
A discovery that blocks the normal transition of semen from a thick gel to a liquid shows promise for development of a new form of non-hormonal, over-the-counter contraception. A Washington State University-led research team recently showed that blocking prostate-specific-antigen in human ejaculate samples caused the semen to remain in its thick gel form, trapping the…
New method to measure the cosmic microwave background’s temperature
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is leftover electromagnetic radiation from the earliest cosmological epoch, i.e., Big Bang. It gives a snapshot of the early Universe. Over the past two decades, measurements of the cosmic microwave background’s temperature have provided profound insight into the nature of the Universe. Detailed information about the composition and evolution of…
The (10+2)*5 Method Will Help You Get More Done in a Day
Photo: fizkes (Shutterstock)Whether you’re trying to write a novel or send an email, it can be hard to get yourself to stick to a set work schedule. I certainly struggle to hold myself accountable; I mean, I know the person who set the terms here, and she’s pretty easy to undermine. That’s why I welcome…
Light-matter interaction is an essential topic relevant to the disciplines of physical and chemical sciences and optical and electrical engineering. The invention of the laser in the early 1960s led to several innovations in these fields. Since then, laser technologies have developed in various directions. In the field of optical science, it is becoming increasingly…
New research method reveals how businesses can run better experiments
Credit: CC0 Public Domain Many companies today use experiments to gather the data that drives their strategies. That's how Facebook knows whether a newsfeed change increased user engagement, or how a bank knows whether its new promotional strategy increased deposits. But a phenomenon called interference has always made getting to that clear cause-and-effect difficult. Now…
