The orbiting Tiangon-2 Space Lab has transmitted quantum encryption keys to four ground stations, researchers reported on 18 August. The same network of ground stations is also able to receive quantum keys from the orbiting Micius satellite, which is in a much higher orbit, using the space station as a…

5G Networks Are Worryingly Hackable

Prominent tech firms like Microsoft and NEC have recently expressed concerns over the security and perhaps too-rapid adoption, respectively, of critical 5G technologies. Now German security researchers have put some substance to the industry's fears and unease.At a hacker conference held in the Netherlands last month, Karsten Nohl, founder of…

Software Turns Promise Up for Offshore Wind

A radical new idea for offshore wind turbines would replace tall unwieldy towers that possessed blades on top with lightweight, towerless machines whose blades resemble the loops of a whisk. Now new software can help optimize these unusual designs to help make them a reality, researchers say.This new work comes…

Welcome to IEEE Spectrum’s ninth annual ranking of the Top Programming Languages! This year we’ve revamped and streamlined our interactive ranking tool, and made other changes under the hood, but the goal remains the same—to combine multiple metrics from different sources to estimate the relative popularity of different languages.You can…

How We Judge The Top Programming Languages

23 Αυγούστου 2022 by paulkokos

paulkokos

Our interactive rankings of the most popular programming languages was first created by data journalist Nick Diakopoulos in 2013. The current version is maintained by IEEE Spectrum senior editor Stephen Cass with development support from Prachi Patel and Michael Novakovic. As no-one can look over the shoulders of every programmer,…

The Rise of SQL

SQL dominated the jobs ranking in this year's IEEE Spectrum interactive rankings of the top programming languages. Normally, the top position is occupied by Python or other mainstays, such as C, C++, Java, and JavaScript, but So what’s behind SQL’s soar to the top? The ever-increasing use of databases, for…

In Jules Verne’s 1865 novel From the Earth to the Moon, members of the fictitious Baltimore Gun Club, all disabled Civil War veterans, restlessly search for a new enemy to conquer. They had spent the war innovating new, deadlier weaponry. By the war’s end, with “not quite one arm between…

The Math Proves It—Network Congestion Is Inevitable

20 Αυγούστου 2022 by paulkokos

Just as highway networks may suffer from snarls of traffic, so too may computer networks face congestion. Now a new study finds that many key algorithms designed to control these delays on computer networks may prove deeply unfair, letting some users hog all the bandwidth while others get essentially nothing.Computers…

“Quantum-Safe” Crypto Hacked by 10-Year-Old PC

19 Αυγούστου 2022 by paulkokos

paulkokos

Future quantum computers may rapidly break modern cryptography. Now researchers find that a promising algorithm designed to protect computers from these advanced attacks could get broken in just 4 minutes. And the catch is that 4-minute time stamp was not achieved by a cutting-edge machine but by a regular 10-year-old…
