A new system developed by Cornell Tech researchers helps users detect when their online accounts have been compromised—without exposing their personal devices to invasive tracking by web services.This post was originally published on this website.

A novel algorithmic system that works subtly in the background to mutual benefit, and adapts quickly to local conditions, could be useful in data processing where noise terms can be replaced with useful estimates of […]

Blockchain technologies are digital systems that work by distributing copies of information across several computers, also referred to as nodes, all of which are connected to a common network. These technologies underpin the trading of […]

Over the past decades, computer scientists have developed many computational tools that can analyze and interpret images. These tools have proved useful for a broad range of applications, including robotics, autonomous driving, health care, manufacturing […]

Altruism, the tendency to behave in ways that benefit others even if it comes at a cost to oneself, is a valuable human quality that can facilitate cooperation with others and promote meaningful social relationships. […]

With the particular needs of scientists and engineers in mind, researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have co-designed with Micron a new hardware-software architecture purpose-built for science.This post was originally published […]

In computer security, random numbers are crucial values that must be unpredictable—such as secret keys or initialization vectors (IVs)—forming the foundation of security systems. To achieve this, deterministic random bit generators (DRBGs) are used, which […]

Yiming Zhang didn’t grow up playing chess. Like many other people, the Carnegie Mellon University Ph.D. student discovered the Netflix series “The Queen’s Gambit” during the pandemic and began playing online. However, he quickly realized […]

Storm surges or collapsing dams—authentic simulations of water flows are not only important for special effects in disaster movies, but could also help to protect coastal regions. For more realistic simulations of fluid motions, researchers […]

A key objective of behavioral science research is to better understand how people make decisions in situations where outcomes are unknown or uncertain, which entail a certain degree of risk.This post was originally published on […]
