Fingerprint makes computer chips counterfeit-proof

  • PDF
TechAndComputer (Feb. 8, 2011) — Product counterfeiters are increasingly targeting chips and electronic components, with attacks on hardware modules becoming commonplace. Tailor-made security technology utilizes a component's individual material properties to generate a digital key. This provides components with an identity -- since their unique structure cannot be copied.

Fraunhofer researchers will be presenting a prototype at the embedded...

Graphene and 'spintronics' combo looks promising

  • PDF
TechAndComputer (Jan. 27, 2011) — A team of physicists has taken a big step toward the development of useful graphene spintronic devices. The physicists, from the City University of Hong Kong and the University of Science and Technology of China, present their findings in the American Institute of Physics' Applied Physics Letters.

Graphene, a two-dimensional crystalline form of carbon, is being touted as a sort of "Holy Grail" of materials. It...

New single-pixel photo camera developed

  • PDF
TechAndComputer (Dec. 22, 2010) — Researchers from the UJI (Universitat Jaume I) Optics Research Group (GROC) in Castelló, Spain, have developed a new tool for the field of scientific imaging. A sensor of just one pixel can record high-quality images and distribute them securely, that is, without allowing unauthorised people access to information.

In 2009, Willard S. Boyle and George E. Smith received the Nobel Prize in Physics for having...

Quantum computers easier to build: Can tolerate faulty or missing components, researchers say

  • PDF
TechAndComputer (Nov. 13, 2010) — Quantum computers should be much easier to build than previously thought, because they can still work with a large number of faulty or even missing components, according to a study published in Physical Review Letters.

This surprising discovery brings scientists one step closer to designing and building real-life quantum computing systems -- devices that could have enormous potential across a wide range of...
