Bee-Inspired Algorithm Helps UAVs Detect the Horizon For Improved Aerobatics

An autopilot system modeled after honeybee flight is faster and more accurate than gyroscope-based programs, according to a new study. By imitating how honeybees sense their surroundings,

MIT Femtosecond Laser Camera Shoots Pics Around Corners, No Periscope Required

To most of us, seeing what's around the corner before rounding the bend is known as premonition. For students and professors at MIT's Media Lab, it's called physics. The lab is working on a laser-based camera that can snap

Quantum Hackers Use Lasers to Crack Commercial Quantum Encryption Without Leaving a Trace

Quantum cryptography is one of the most secure known means of transmitting data, due to the fact that even if a third party does intercept a quantum signal, that interference changes the encryption key, making the tampering apparent to parties at both ends. But a handful
