Researchers have developed a tool to visualize network traffic data, allowing analysts to identify key changes and patterns. The tool has been used to inspect network traffic during DDoS attacks and map out malware distribution networks.
A recent study found that people can only correctly identify half of phishing emails, despite being cautious. Participants were more likely to be overconfident and fall for attacks if they perceived negative consequences.
Researchers discovered the cause of vastly different thermal conductivities in superatomic structural analogues, directly related to rotational disorder within those structures. This finding enables the creation of materials with potential applications in sustainable energy generation, energy storage, and nanoelectronics.
Researchers found that deploying crash-avoidance technologies in vehicles could prevent up to 1.3 million crashes per year, including 10,100 fatal wrecks. The study estimates a net benefit of $202 billion or $861 per car, with potential for larger benefits over time.
