'Cloud services made security no longer a problem for few, but for all of us.'
We had a chat with Prof. Massimo Villari from the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Messina in Italy[…]
Read moreInformation gathered by your wearables is more sensitive than you think
The segment of wearable technology is booming, but if you’re actively using a smart watch, you are producing more data than you are probably aware of. Data that hackers find very attractive. When we say that wearables are booming, it is not an overstatement. It is reportedly already producing an estimated $14 billion in sales worldwide – and is expected to to more than double within the next four years.

Read moreOne step closer to turning diamond into the perfect semiconductor
It is a relatively well known fact that diamonds could make for pretty great semiconductors. They are thermally conductive, foregoing the need for bulky cooling, and they can handle high voltages and power…
Read moreTomorrow's protective materials harden on impact thanks to adaptive protein crystals
Chemists at UC San Diego have created an “adaptive protein crystal” with a counterintuitive and potentially useful property: When stretched in one direction, the material thickens in the perpendicular direction, rather than thinning as familiar materials do…
Read moreMicroscale wireless circuits may be definite game changers for wearable IoT
Nowadays, wearable devices are everyday and mostly hard to get excited about, as useful as they are beyond their vanity features. Once in a while, however, a potential game-changer comes in with a proof of concept that makes an impression…
