As more private data is stored and shared digitally, researchers are exploring new ways to protect data against attacks from bad actors. Current silicon technology exploits microscopic differences between computing components to create secure keys, but artificial intelligence (AI) techniques can be used to predict these keys and gain access to data. Now, Penn State Read more about Graphene as a new hardware security device[…]
Did you ever wonder how social networking applications like Facebook and LinkedIn make recommendations on the people you should friend or pages you should follow? Behind the scenes are machine learning models that classify nodes based on the data they contain about users for example, their level of education, location or political affiliation. The models Read more about Machine learning provide us Facebook and LinkedIn friends recommendations[…]
Range anxiety, the fear of running out of power before being able to recharge an electric vehicle, may be a thing of the past, according to a team of Penn State engineers who are looking at lithium iron phosphate batteries that have a range of 250 miles with the ability to charge in 10 minutes. Read more about A pretty clever battery for mass-market electric vehicles[…]
Development of a theoretical basis for ultrahigh piezoelectricity in ferroelectric materials led to a new material with twice the piezo response of any existing commercial ferroelectric ceramics, according to an international team of researchers from Penn State, China and Australia. Piezoelectricity is the material property at the heart of medical ultrasound, sonar, active vibration control Read more about Designing a new material for improved ultrasound[…]
Medical devices powered by synthetic proteins created from repeated sequences of proteins may be possible, according to materials science and biotechnology experts, who looked at material inspired by the proteins in squid ring teeth. “The question we had was whether we could make flexible and self-healing medical devices to work on protons the way biological Read more about Flexible and self-healing medical devices[…]
