Seeking quantum-ness: D-Wave chip passes rigorous tests Posted: 05 Mar 2014 09:53 AM PST D-Wave quantum processor passes tests indicating that it uses special laws of quantum mechanics to operate. A key task for researchers has been to determine whether D-Wave processors operate as hoped -- using the special laws of quantum mechanics to offer potentially higher-speed processing, instead of operating in a classical, traditional way.

When disaster strikes: Safeguarding networks Posted: 05 Mar 2014 09:51 AM PST Disasters both natural and human-caused can damage or destroy data and communications networks. New information on strategies that can mitigate the impacts of these disasters.

Platform would protect smartphones from cyber criminals Posted: 05 Mar 2014 09:51 AM PST Criminals don't have to pick your pocket to get what they want out of your mobile. But a certifiably secure operating platform is being developed by researchers so that consumers can be confident that their mobile data is safe.

Copied from nature: Detecting software errors via genetic algorithms Posted: 05 Mar 2014 05:48 AM PST Software developers are spending about the half of their time detecting errors and resolving them. Projected onto the global software industry, this would amount to a bill of about 312 billion US dollars every year. Researchers are now automating the process.

Computer reads text written in the air and other innovations Posted: 05 Mar 2014 05:46 AM PST In the future, computers and humans will cooperate more seamlessly: perhaps by easier access to data or by the intuitive control of programs and robots. Conference exhibits along this line include gesture-controlled communication, firewalls to data management and computer-supported surgery.
