Quantum physics has been found hiding in Schrödinger equation

New theoretical work known as theSchrodinger equationcouches mean-field game theory and is the foundational equation of quantum mechanics. Thus, the mathematical tools developed to describe quantum systems might now bring insights to mean-field games. In a new paper, they show that electrons and fish follow the exact same mathematics. A simple example of a mean-field game is the schooling of fish in a river. For example, a school of fish want to stay near each other while also looking independently for food....

Researchers discover a way to hack Gmail and Facebook 500 times faster

The latest update is now more capable and can exploit encryption such as AES. The attack assumes that a target website uses HTTPS and compresses the response in plaintext. This code can issue adaptive requests to the target service. Our injector injects the client code in all unauthenticated HTTP responses that the victim receives. Instead of stealing the users CSRF token, we can, therefore, steal one of these private messages....

Single strand of DNA used to create world’s smallest diode

Their study has been published online inNature Chemistry. The research is supported by the National Science Foundation. If silicon-based chips become much smaller, their performance will become unstable and unpredictable. The team inserted a molecule called coralyne into the helix to allow a current to flow through the DNA. This finding is quite counterintuitive because the molecular structure is still seemingly symmetrical after coralyne intercalation, Xu said. It gives us new insights into the electronic transport mechanism....

Top Firefox extensions may be invitations for malware attacks

Through this attack scenario, researchers managed to exploit popular Firefox add-ons to carry out malicious actions. The researchers showcased their exploit by carrying out a live experiment in the conference. Mozilla reviewers approved the extension without any red flags. Mozilla said that the researchers findings were hypothetical in nature. The way add-ons are implemented in Firefox today allows for the scenario hypothesized and presented at Black Hat Asia. source: www.techworm.net

Astronomers find an exoplanet that has three stars which looks like sun

The detailed study of the discovery of distant world, known asKELT-4Abwas published in the Astronomical Journal. While the planet orbits one star in the system, that star is circled by a pair of stars. However, it has a quite rare multi-star system at a distance of around 700 light-years from our planet. It takes the pair approximately four thousand years to orbit KELT-A. The transiting exoplanet dubbed asKELT-4Ab have been found around KELT-4A by the astronomers....
