In a groundbreaking development for internet security, researchers at Leibniz University Hannover have unveiled a new quantum encryption technique that promises to make online communications unbreakable. This innovative approach leverages the power of light and color to enhance quantum key distribution, a crucial component for securing data in the face of emerging quantum computing threats.…
Can we make the journey to Mars faster, safer, and more energy-efficient? Space engineers have been grappling with this question for decades. Now, thanks to NASA’s latest research, we might be closer than ever to turning that dream into reality. The key? A project called MARVL — a concept that could fundamentally change how we…
The energy of a nucleus can be tapped in two ways: by splitting large nuclei into smaller ones (fission) or by combining small nuclei into larger ones (fusion). The first method yields atomic or nuclear (fission) energy, while the second provides fusion energy, which is essentially stellar power. This is the way the sun and…
Tunnels have always been an important part of infrastructure, and although a significant number of tunnels have been built in many countries over the past few decades, traditional construction methods have often been limited. For example, the Channel Tunnel, which connects France and the United Kingdom, took over 15 years to complete and cost more…
