Abstract: "This paper presents a new side channel that affects mixed-signal chips used in widespread wireless communication protocols, such as Bluetooth and WiFi. This increasingly common type of chip includes the radio transceiver along with digital logic on the same integrated circuit. In such sy...

Also a new paper demonstrating this: https://eprint.iacr.org/2017/627 (which sadly doesn't cite the ML post)

Authors claim to eliminate the side channels with a low-overhead technique that works across many languages. Their experiments apply it to C, C++, and Java programs.

The fast radio bursts are likely generated by a magnetar, the most magnetic type of star in the universe. Fast radio bursts are extremely bright flashes of energy that last for a fraction of a second, during which they can blast out more than 100 million times more power than the sun. Since they wer...

MRI-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) effectively treats prostate cancer while preserving urinary and sexual function. A technique that delivers high-intensity focused ultrasound to targeted tissue under MRI guidance effectively treats intermediate-risk prostate cancer with minimal s...

Scientists dramatically enhance the achievable resolution at free-electron lasers with a new technique. Hard X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) have delivered intense, ultrashort X-ray pulses for over a decade. One of the most promising applications of XFELs is in biology, where researchers can capt...
