Researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed a simple yet powerful method to characterize lithium metal battery performance with the help of a widely used imaging tool: ...

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images are already a common staple of battery research. Now, they can be paired with a simple algorithm to enable better prediction of lithium metal battery ...

Data security involves implementing strategies to safeguard digital information against unauthorized disclosure and modification across computing and communication infrastructures. Given the ...

New estimates suggest it might be 20 times easier to crack cryptography with quantum computers than we thought—but don't panic. Will quantum computers crack cryptographic codes and cause a global ...

Quantum computers could crack a common data encryption technique once they have a million qubits, or quantum bits. While this is still well beyond the capabilities of existing quantum computers, this ...
