Two research teams used the same AI to solve a tough quantum encryption problem—and submitted their solutions just three hours apart. It's opening exciting new doors for scientific discovery, even as it raises fresh questions about how we share credit for breakthroughs.
Former Signal developers just released new technology that could bring military-grade encryption to everyday collaboration tools like team chat and shared documents. The open-source system makes it simple for any developer to build privacy-protecting apps without needing cryptography expertise.
A computer scientist just solved a puzzle that's stumped cryptographers for decades, making it easier to prove you know something without revealing what you know. This innovation could make everything from online banking to blockchain technology more secure and accessible.
South Korea is expanding its groundbreaking quantum security program to protect critical infrastructure from future cyber threats. The country is rolling out hack-proof encryption across telecommunications, finance, transportation, defense, and space sectors.
The privacy advocate who made end-to-end encryption mainstream is now working with Meta to protect your conversations with AI chatbots. Billions of people chat with AI daily, but unlike your private texts, those conversations aren't encrypted.
Singapore is getting the world's first dedicated center to protect organizations from future quantum computer threats. The Quantum-Safe Center will help businesses shield their data before tomorrow's supercomputers can crack today's encryption.
South Korea is strengthening its digital defenses against future quantum computer threats through a new partnership. BTQ Technologies joined forces with ITCEN PNS to bring advanced post-quantum security to Korean organizations.
A new approach to artificial intelligence could eliminate the "hallucination" problem that makes today's AI unreliable for scientific research. Computer scientist Tudor Achim is reviving a 400-year-old idea to create AI that simply can't make errors.
Mohtarama "Mary" Qazizada fled Afghanistan in 2019 and arrived at Eastern Oregon University barely speaking English. Three years later, she's graduating with a 3.9 GPA as the school's highest-honored student.
Singapore's financial watchdog is teaming up with five major banks to deploy AI that can spot scam transactions before criminals steal money from victims. The groundbreaking initiative uses machine learning to flag suspicious activity earlier than ever before.
While the world watched India's Mars mission succeed on the first try, few knew the women behind it. These six scientists revolutionized space exploration, cancer detection, and mathematics without seeking headlines.
In 1976, two Stanford researchers cracked a code problem that had stumped humanity for thousands of years. Their solution now protects every secure website you visit.
