Researchers Discover New Side Channel Attack on Low-End Phones
Georgia Institute of Technology

Georgia Tech researchers have recently discovered a new side channel attack that is effective on a wide range of low-end phones. All that's needed for the attack to work is to place a sensor close to the phone, for example, under the coffee table where the phone is sitting. If the sensor bears witness to a single secure transaction, like a bank login, then the attacker can immediately break the user's encryption and forge their digital signature.

New upgrades to old wireless tech could enable real-time 3D motion capture
University of California San Diego

A wireless technology that is helping people find their keys and wallets could one day be used for precise and real-time 3D motion capture, thanks to upgrades developed by electrical engineers at the University of California San Diego. The team's new work improves on ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless technology so that it is faster, extremely low power and able to provide high accuracy in 3D localization.

Degradable coatings for compostable paper food packaging block grease and oil
American Chemical Society (ACS)

Many paper cartons and wraps for food have a noncompostable plastic coating. Plastic-free products are available but can transmit grease and oil, creating a mess. Now, scientists have created a degradable coating that can block this seepage. They will present their results at ACS Fall 2021.

Titan-in-a-glass experiments hint at mineral makeup of Saturn moon
American Chemical Society (ACS)

Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, has a dense atmosphere and weather cycles like Earth. Now, researchers have recreated the moon’s conditions in small glass cylinders, revealing properties of two molecules believed to exist as minerals on Titan. They will present their results at ACS Fall 2021.

‘Nanojars’ capture dissolved carbon dioxide, toxic ions from water
American Chemical Society (ACS)

Carbon dioxide dissolves in oceans, lakes and ponds, forming bicarbonate ions that can reenter the atmosphere as carbon dioxide later. Now, researchers have developed tiny “nanojars” that split bicarbonate into carbonate and capture it. They will present their results at ACS Fall 2021.

Protecting gardens and crops from insects using the ‘smell of fear’
American Chemical Society (ACS)

Herbivorous insects are a threat to gardeners’ hard work, and are increasingly resistant to pesticides. Today, scientists report they have bottled the “smell of fear” from predators to repel destructive insects without the need for harsh substances. They will present their results at ACS Fall 2021.
