Core Concept: Homomorphic encryption.
It turned out to be pretty easy for Yaniv Erlich to identify people who had donated their genomic data to science, even despite researchers’ attempts to make that data anonymous. Erlich, a former computer hacker hired by businesses to test the security of computer systems, only needed his tailor-made computer program and an Internet connection to access publicly available databases. Erlich, tho...
متن کاملCore Concept: Quantum dots.
In September 2015, Philips, an electronics company based in The Netherlands, unveiled a computer monitor that achieved a brilliant color display using quantum dots: semiconductor nanocrystals that can be tuned to glow in any color. The Philips monitor was the first of its kind, following on the heels of the television that uses quantum dots to enhance its backlighting—rolled out by Sony in 2013...
متن کاملCore concept: silicene.
In 2003, physicists from the University of Manchester isolated flakes of graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb. The researchers described their methods in 2004 (1), and in 2010 they were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering the wonder substance. Since then, researchers have shown that the 2D carbon material conducts electricity and is stronger than steel...
متن کاملCore Concept: Resting-state connectivity.
In the early days of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), researchers mostly analyzed how brain areas responded to a stimulus, whether a light, a noise, or some sort of cognitive task. But as a graduate student at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, Bharat Biswal had an unusual request of his fMRI test subjects: climb into the scanner and do, well, nothing. Biswal expected t...
متن کاملCore Concept: CRISPR gene editing.
Just a few years ago, molecular biologists hoping to alter the genome of their favorite organisms faced an arduous task and likely weeks of genetic tinkering. Today, those scientists can quickly destroy or edit a gene with a new technology called CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat)/Cas9. “It really opens up the genome of virtually every organism that’s been sequenc...
