USB connections, the most common interface used globally to connect external devices to computers, are vulnerable to information ‘leakage’, making them even less secure than has been thought, Australian research has shown. University of Adelaide researchers tested more than 50 different computers and external USB hubs and found that over 90% of them leaked information…
Glass Now Has Smart Potential
Australian researchers at the University of Adelaide have developed a method for embedding light-emitting nanoparticles into glass without losing any of their unique properties — a major step towards ‘smart glass’ applications such as 3D display screens or remote radiation sensors. This new “hybrid glass” successfully combines the properties of these special luminescent (or light-emitting)…
