Brain-inspired chip runs near absolute zero and could transform quantum computing

Scientists at the University of Hong Kong have created a remarkable new type of brain-inspired chip that can function just above absolute zero, one of the coldest environments imaginable. By using a standard silicon carbide transistor in a completely new way, the team made a single device behave like an energy-efficient neuron, firing electrical “spikes” similar to those in the human brain.

One-way quantum synchronization could make quantum computers more reliable

Scientists at RIKEN have proposed a new way to make quantum systems synchronize in only one direction—like a one-way street for sound particles known as phonons. The breakthrough combines two quantum effects to create a form of one-way quantum synchronization that remains surprisingly stable even when exposed to manufacturing flaws and environmental noise, two major obstacles that have long hindered real-world quantum technologies.

Cybercriminals are moving away from mass phishing campaigns

Phishing activity declined by roughly 20% in both 2024 and 2025, according to research from Zscaler’s ThreatLabz team. The drop followed years of growth that pushed phishing activity above 2 billion hits in 2023. “Phishing volume measured by blocked emails is no longer a reliable proxy for phishing risk.” Researchers found greater use of targeted phishing campaigns designed to resemble routine business communications. The services sector recorded a 65.5% year-over-year increase in phishing activity, making … More → The post Cybercriminals are moving away from mass phishing campaigns appeared first on Help Net Security.
