Applying game theory to the way virtual machines are allocated to hypervisors could improve cloud security, according to the US Army. Speaking of multiple VMs running on a hypervisor: “Herein lies the unseen danger: an attacker can target an unsecured VM, and once that VM is compromised, the attack can move on to compromise the ...

Graphs can be easy or difficult to understand, or somewhere in-between. To give computers some idea where on the scale their output might be, and how to improve it if need be, researchers at Columbia University and Tufts University have invented a technique called ‘pixel approximate entropy’. “This is a brand new approach to working ...

New Model in Technology & Engineering (NMiTE), Britain’s first new purpose-built university for 40 years, has been launched today at Hereford Cathedral. Dubbed NMiTE, it is the first in a wave of government-promoted higher education ‘challengers’, due to receive its initial intake of student engineers in September 2019. “Britain desperately needs to boost productivity, technical skills ...

Purdue University is proposing a tungsten-ceramic zirconium carbide heat exchanger to increase the efficiency of solar-thermal electricity generation. Solar-thermal generation – where sunlight is focussed onto structures that absorb it as heat, which is then used to drive turbine-style generators – is proposed as an alternative to photo-voltaic generation, with the particular advantage that heat ...

Girls who play video games are three times more likely to choose physical science, technology, engineering or maths (PSTEM) degrees compared to their non-gaming counterparts, according to the University of Surrey. A study, led by Surrey education researcher Dr Anesa Hosein – who declares a “geek girl gamer” past, according to the University, found that ...

Comms apps are expected to account for 3x more foundry wafers than computing apps in pure-play foundries this year, says IC Insights. With the tremendous growth of smartphones over the past decade, foundry sales to the communications market have soared. Ten years ago, computers/computing systems were easily the largest application for pure-play IC foundry sales, but ...

“It is time for Europe to decide whether it wants to become a submissive continent…or a sovereign continent,” says French finance minister Bruno Le Maire (pictured) who has been leading the fight in the EU to tax the US tech giants. The Americans calk them the FANG and the French call them the GAFA, but ...
