Crossbar nanocomputers
Article Abstract:
A future generation of microchips might not need transistors but would instead use crisscrossing wires only a few atoms thick. Crossbars offers several benefits which are the regular pattern of crisscrossing nanowires makes manufacturing relatively straightforward, especially compared with the complex structures of microprocessors and its arraylike composition provides clear ways to instill defect tolerance in circuits.

The net's real security problem
Article Abstract:
The Internet has opened and grown explosively since the time it was in research stage in 1971, but the security part is overlooked and inherent stronger security is missing. Although building a proper security will be a formidable task, cybersecurity needs immediate, sustained attention and with cybercrime growing the losses will be more with major attack on IT infrastructure.
