When white dwarfs—the hot remnants of stars like our sun—are orbited closely by another star, they sometimes steal mass away ...

S cientists say they have made a breakthrough after developing a quantum computing technique to run machine learning ...

Consider five-digit binary numbers: strings of five bits that are either 1 or 0. The “Hamming distance” between two numbers ...

From jury duty to tax audits, randomness plays a big role. Scientists used quantum physics to build a system that ensures those number draws can’t be gamed.

Scientists with NIST and the University of Colorado Boulder developed CURBy, a system that can verify the randomness of strings of numbers, which will add more protection to encrypted data in the ...

Engineers have developed a pulsed cryogenic smart amplifier that cuts power use & heat in quantum computers, enabling ...

Very little in this life is truly random. A coin flip is influenced by the flipper’s force, its surrounding airflow, and gravity. Similar variables dictate rolling a pair of dice or shuffling a deck ...

The promise of so-called “quantum advantage” is simple. By harnessing the counterintuitive rules of quantum mechanics, ...

When white dwarfs—the hot remnants of stars like our Sun—are orbited closely by another star, they sometimes steal mass away ...

When it comes to game engines, many people think of Unreal Engine, Unity, or CryEngine. But none of this would have been possible without Quake Engine ...

Cybersecurity, the practice of protecting digital systems and networks, is critical to mitigate the risk of digital attacks — data breaches, financial fraud and identity theft — as emerging advances ...

It’s always clock time at Hackaday, and this time we have an interesting hack of a clock by [danjovic]– the CIS4, a ...
