Making an invisible electric wire: Guiding electricity with sound

Electric sparks are used for welding, powering electronics, killing germs or for igniting the fuel in some car engines. Despite their usefulness, they are hard to control in open space, they split into chaotic branches that tend to go towards the closest metallic objects. A recent study uncovers a way of transporting electricity through air by ultrasonic waves. The level of control of the electric sparks allows to guide the spark around obstacles, or to make it hit specific spots, even into non-conductive materials.

Self-sovereign identity could transform fraud prevention, but…

The way we manage digital identity is fundamentally broken. The root of the problem lies in traditional, centralized identity models, where a single organization holds and controls a user’s credentials, creating an attractive target for attackers. The bigger the database, the bigger the prize. Self-sovereign identity (SSI) presents a radical shift in how we think about digital identity. Instead of relying on centralized authorities, SSI puts control directly into the hands of individuals. Users store … More → The post Self-sovereign identity could transform fraud prevention, but… appeared first on Help Net Security.
