Encryption systems rely on “random” numbers, but conventional computers can’t generate them perfectly. New research shows that quantum physics can. By Alexander Nazaryan Researchers in Switzerland ...

Mathematicians proved in the early 1990s that randomly connecting routers produces the most efficient, resilient network topology. It took AWS roughly 30 years to turn that result into production ...

Positional accuracy of cartographic products is typically evaluated using positional discrepancies and point-based techniques. However, using linear features has some advantages over the point-based ...

Abstract: We analyze the performance of quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols that rely on discrete phase randomization (DPR). For many QKD protocols that rely on weak coherent pulses (WCPs), ...

A new study using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope reveals that about two-thirds of distant galaxies rotate clockwise, a surprising imbalance in what was expected to be a random distribution. This ...

Generalizing scientific findings across diverse populations is fundamental to many scientific fields and policymakers who use such analyses to guide decision-making. Traditional methods often account ...

Twice-yearly mass distribution of azithromycin to children is a promising intervention to reduce childhood mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. The World Health Organization recommended restricting ...
