Scientists are experimenting with an unconventional source to trap the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide: zooplankton poop.
Earth needs more carbon sinks. As the planet warms, many of the places that trap CO2 are now releasing it into the atmosphere,…

Ferroelectric Transistors for Homomorphic Encryption
In an age where data is bought and sold as a commodity, true privacy is rare. But homomorphic encryption can protect your data completely, so no one, not even the servers used to process it, can read your information.
Here’s how it works: A…
