Nov 01, 2024 (Nanowerk Spotlight) Space equipment must perform complex functions while operating in extreme conditions. A telescope's sensors require protection from stray light that can ruin astronomical observations, while simultaneously managing temperature swings that can distort images. Astronauts need constant health monitoring, but current sensors restrict movement and add...
Blockchain based intrusion detection algorithm for IoT
Nov 01, 2024 (Nanowerk News) In the Internet of Things, the network devices have been more vulnerable to various intrusion attacks. Most of the existing algorithms are trained in a centralized manner, which may cause external communication cost and privacy leakage. Besides, traditional model training manners are incapable to identify...
Nanoscale fuller-dome aerogels enable new class of thermal insulating materials
Oct 31, 2024 (Nanowerk Spotlight) Cold weather protection represents a fundamental challenge at the intersection of physics and human comfort. Heat naturally flows from warm to cold areas. Blocking this flow requires creating barriers at the microscopic level, where heat transfer occurs. Traditional insulating materials like wool, synthetic fabrics, and...
