Researchers are working to protect consumer data by using companies spam volume to evaluate its security vulnerability through the SpamRankings.net project.

The birth of topological spintronics: New material combo could lead to more efficient computers

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 11:17 AM PDT

The discovery of a new material combination that could lead to a more efficient approach to computer memory and logic is the first promising indication that it may be possible to build a practical technology with a novel material known as a 'topological insulator.' The research team's results show that such a scheme can be 10 times more efficient for controlling magnetic memory or logic than any other combination of materials measured to date.

A crystal wedding in the nanocosmos may lead to fast multi-functional processing units on single chip

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 08:10 AM PDT

Researchers have succeeded in embedding nearly perfect semiconductor crystals into a silicon nanowire. With this new method of producing hybrid nanowires, very fast and multi-functional processing units can be accommodated on a single chip in the future.

Scientists find way to maintain quantum entanglement in amplified signals

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 08:10 AM PDT

Physicists have found a way to preserve quantum entanglement of particles passing through an amplifier and, conversely, when transmitting a signal over long distances.

Virtual humans as models: Say goodbye to Naomi, Kate and Claudia ... Enter 'Ava'

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 08:07 AM PDT

Forget top models. With haute couture turning to virtual reality, holographic versions of the world's most in-demand models are now striding down the catwalks alongside their human counterparts. But does this mean temperamental models are on their way out?  New research has been revealed which shows it could be the end of the fashion world as we know it.

Electronic nose could aid in rescue missions

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 08:04 AM PDT

Researchers have developed a device that allows multiple robotic platforms to follow the path of certain odors. A technology which could aid the search and rescue of people in case of natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes or floods.

Dopamine transporter: Stampede supercomputer used to study common link between addiction, neurological disease

Posted: 22 Jul 2014 01:43 PM PDT

The XSEDE-allocated Stampede supercomputer has been used to study the dopamine transporter. Stampede is ranked seventh on the Top 500 list of supercomputers. Its research links altered dopamine signaling and dopamine transporter function to neurological and psychiatric diseases including early-onset Parkinsonism, ADHD, and cocaine addiction.
