Published Post-wildfire landslides becoming more frequent in southern California
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Southern California can now expect to see post-wildfire landslides occurring almost every year, with major events expected roughly every ten years, a new study finds. The results show Californians are now facing a double whammy of increased wildfire and landslide risk caused by climate change-induced shifts in the state's wet and dry seasons, according to researchers who mapped landslide vulnerability in the southern half of the state.
Published Laser system generates random numbers at ultrafast speeds
(via sciencedaily.com) Scientists have developed a system that can generate random numbers over a hundred times faster than current technologies, paving the way towards faster, cheaper, and more secure data encryption in today's digitally connected world.
Published Quantum systems learn joint computing
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers realize quantum-logic computer operation between two separate quantum modules in different laboratories.
Published Quantum computing: When ignorance is wanted
(via sciencedaily.com) Quantum technologies for computers open up new concepts of preserving the privacy of input and output data of a computation. Scientists have shown that optical quantum systems are not only particularly suitable for some quantum computations, but can also effectively encrypt the associated input and output data.
Published Cybersecurity vulnerabilities of common seismological equipment
(via sciencedaily.com) Seismic monitoring devices linked to the internet are vulnerable to cyberattacks that could disrupt data collection and processing, say researchers who have probed the devices for weak points.
Published Say goodbye to the dots and dashes to enhance optical storage media
(via sciencedaily.com) A new technology is aimed at modernizing the optical digital storage technology. This advancement allows for more data to be stored and for that data to be read at a quicker rate. Rather than using the traditional dots and dashes as commonly used in these technologies, the innovators encode information in the angular position of tiny antennas, allowing them to store more data per unit area.
Published Researchers improve data readout by using 'quantum entanglement'
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers say they have been able to greatly improve the readout of data from digital memories - thanks to a phenomenon known as 'quantum entanglement'.
Published Physicists observe competition between magnetic orders
(via sciencedaily.com) Two-dimensional materials, consisting of a single layer of atoms, have been booming in research for years. They possess novel properties that can only be explained with the help of the laws of quantum mechanics. Researchers have now used ultracold atoms to gain new insights into previously unknown quantum phenomena. They found out that the magnetic orders between two coupled thin films of atoms compete with each other.
Published A biochemical random number
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Scientists have generated a huge true random number using DNA synthesis. It is the first time that a number of this magnitude has been created by biochemical means.
Published Researchers simulate privacy leaks in functional genomics studies
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers demonstrate that it's possible to de-identify raw functional genomics data to ensure patient privacy. They also demonstrate how these raw data could be linked back to specific individuals through their gene variants by something as simple as an abandoned coffee cup if these sanitation measures are not put in place.
