Brain-like learning found in bacterial nanopores

Scientists at EPFL have unraveled the mystery behind why biological nanopores, tiny molecular holes used in both nature and biotechnology, sometimes behave unpredictably. By experimenting with engineered versions of the bacterial pore aerolysin, they discovered that two key effects, rectification and gating, stem from the pore’s internal electrical charges and their interaction with passing ions. The team even built nanopores that imitate brain-like “learning,” hinting at future applications in bio-inspired computing and ion-based processors.

Germany takes first step toward quantum-secure national ID cards

Since its introduction in 2010, Germany’s national ID card with its built-in online identification feature has set a high standard for security. The next generation must now withstand potential quantum-computer attacks, covering both hardware and software, as each card will remain valid for ten years. In recent months, Bundesdruckerei and G+D have built a joint technical foundation for this transformation. Together with the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), they developed a demonstrator using … More → The post Germany takes first step toward quantum-secure national ID cards appeared first on Help Net Security.

GNU Coreutils 9.9 brings fixes and updates across essential tools

GNU Coreutils is the backbone of many enterprise Linux environments. It provides the basic file, shell, and text utilities that every GNU-based system depends on. The latest release, version 9.9, refines these tools with fixes and performance improvements. Several long-standing issues have been resolved. The basenc –base58 command now works properly with large inputs, correcting a bug introduced in version 9.8. The cksum utility improves support for base64 encoded input and tagged formats used with … More → The post GNU Coreutils 9.9 brings fixes and updates across essential tools appeared first on Help Net Security.
