Universities have a lot of energy needs. From facilities like libraries and gyms that need to remain well-lit and open for extended hours, to multiple computer labs, to simply providing electricity for hundreds of students who live in on-campus housing, the total electrical consumption can be expensive and create a massive carbon footprint. The high cost of electricity has already...

I've heard a lot about graphene and carbon nanotubes, but today was my first visit to the "molybdenum disulfide" Wikipedia entry. Researchers at Tu Wien in Austria have developed a microprocessor that uses 2D molybdenum disulfide as the semiconductor (via KurzweilAI). "2D" materials are materials built out of a thin layer of atoms — sometimes they’re a single atom thick....

Today, internet of things devices outnumber humans. Internet-enabled children’s toys, household appliances, automobiles, industrial control systems and medical devices—new IoT devices are being designed and released every day but many of these devices are built with little-to-no security in place. Given the rapid growth of these devices and unregulated market, it’s no surprise that these devices represent a growing...

April 2017: Hacking used to require a distinct set of skills and capabilities.
