Why Your Password May Not Be As Safe As It Seems
Does “qaz2ws” strike you as a nice safe password? What about “adgimptw”? An analysis has found them to be among the passwords that are most
When ten million passwords were leaked to the internet, they appeared to
While many of the passwords were still single words, such as “password”, there was also a clear attempt by many to make them harder to
“Users are becoming slightly more
But
Perhaps this is why some companies are now trying to move gradually beyond passwords. Yahoo! is giving users the option to associate their mobile phone with an account, and have a single use password texted to it each time they want to
Although the service is voluntary, Dylan Casey, an executive at Yahoo!, said that it was “the first step to
It would certainly be a more sensible strategy than some people’s improving upon “password” by using “password” or tran5p053d numb3r5f0r13tt3r5.

No child or young athlete should be subjected to genetic testing to find sporting talent or improve performance, conclude the experts in a statement published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
The scientific evidence on the effectiveness of these
But that has not stopped the growth of the “direct to consumer” genetic tests, which claim to be able to spot children’s athletic talents or tailor training to
To inform the statement, the panel looked at the availability of DIY genetic tests. It found 39 companies

Researchers have used liquid metals to turn carbon dioxide back into solid coal, in a world-first breakthrough that could transform our
The research team led by RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, have developed a new technique that can efficiently convert CO2 from a gas into solid particles of carbon.
Published in the journal Nature Communications, the research offers a(n)
Current technologies for carbon capture and storage focus on compressing CO2 into a liquid form, transporting it to a suitable site and injecting it underground.
But
RMIT researcher Dr Torben Daeneke said converting CO2 into a solid could be a more sustainable approach. “While we can’t
“To
How the carbon conversion works
Lead author, Dr Dorna Esrafilzadeh, a Vice-Chancellor’s Research Fellow in RMIT’s School of Engineering, developed the electrochemical technique to capture and convert atmospheric CO2 to storable solid carbon.
To convert CO2, the researchers designed a liquid metal catalyst with specific surface
The CO2 slowly converts into solid flakes of carbon, which are naturally detached (脱离) from the liquid metal surface, allowing the continuous production of carbonaceous solid. Esrafilzadeh said the carbon produced could also be used as an electrode.
“A side benefit of the process is that the carbon can hold electrical charge, becoming a supercapacitor (电容器), so it could
