Nanowire could provide a stable, easy-to-make superconducting transistor

https://news.mit.edu/2021/nanowire-superconducting-transistor-0211

Inspired by decades-old MIT research, the new technology could boost quantum computers and other superconducting electronics

The researchers are developing a superconducting nanowire, which could enable more efficient superconducting electronics. The nanowire’s potential benefits derive from its simplicity, says Berggren. “At the end of the day, it’s just a wire.”

Can The FBI Hack Into Private Signal Messages On A Locked iPhone? Evidence Indicates Yes

Signal has become the de facto king of secure messaging apps of late, stealing users from WhatsApp and gathering millions of others looking for private forms of communication. That means the police and governments will be wanting, more than ever, to ensure they have forensic techniques to access Signal messages. Court documents obtained by Forbes not only attest to that desire, but indicate the FBI has a way of accessing Signal texts even if they’re behind the lockscreen of an iPhone.
