Canadian scientists attempt to build quantum radar that can detect stealth aircraft

Canadian researchers are working on an experimental “quantum radar” that can spot the increasingly numerous stealth aircraft deployed by hostile nations. A Live Science article stated that the new radar will use quantum-entangled photons instead of radio waves. The Canadian arctic is not a good workplace for radar. It holds the Earth’s magnetic north pole, […]

Scientists use Einstein’s theory of relativity to generate random numbers that can never be hacked

Hackers are now finding it easy to crack encryption systems that rely on random number generators, according to a LiveScience article. In response, Colorado-based mathematicians combined quantum mechanics with Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity to create absolutely arbitrary numbers that cannot be predicted or hacked. Random numbers are the backbone of encryption systems. Computers use them […]

Photon torpedoes and light sabers closer to becoming reality as scientists create new form of light

We may be getting closer to the day when we finally see if a light saber can stop a photon torpedo. That’s because American researchers have succeeded in getting photons to interact and combine with each other to create what is essentially a new form of light, reported an MIT News article. Photons are elementary […]
