Innovative projects led by scientists in NATO and partner countries are breaking new ground to harness the power of quantum to make communications impossible to intercept and hack. The application of these quantum technologies in the security and defence sectors could help to future-proof the transmission of information, protecting it from increasingly advanced hacking systems…
This technology will see what people can’t. getty If you haven’t been to an Amazon go store, it’s a convenience store with a big difference. Before you enter the first time, you register your credit card or Amazon account. In the store, software tracks you as you move and charges you for whatever you take,…
