Hackers have reportedly broken into a computer system at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, targeting a system that was "one step away" from a control computer, but otherwise appear to have done no major damage.
Researchers from the University of Queensland have taken a significant step in the quest to build a quantum computer, creating a light-based quantum circuit capable of basic calculations and moving quantum computing closer to a becoming a reality.
Australian researchers have taken another step towards quantum computers -- computers which use sub-atomic particles to minimise transistors' size and maximise computing power.
German scientists claim to have broken the light speed barrier, which could blow away the known limitations of modern networking but the technology is unlikely to make it into a product -- if at all -- until most administrators working today have retired.
It's not Star Trek, but quantum computing looks set to revolutionise the way we do computing.
Can a national ID card protect Australians against terrorist attacks? And can citizens' details be protected by Public Key Infrastructure? We look at the types of hardware and software employed to combat terrorism, and how ports and other critical infrastructure are protected.
Imagine encryption technology so secure that breaking it would violate the laws of physics. How can new quantum research be used to protect your data?
