Politics tamfitronics In 2019, construction began on a natural gas pipeline that would cut through the unceded homelands of the Wet’suwet’en Nation in western Canada. Wet’suwet’en land and water protectors were forbidden from coming near the construction area operated by Coastal Gaslink, owned by TC Energy. However, the project was met almost immediately with resistance and gained international attention due to the tribe’s use of traditional law. Under Wet’suwet’en law, the pipeline trespassed on Wet’suwet’en land. With no treaty signed with Canada or Britain, Wet’suwet’en argue that their laws are still applicable — a political status recognized by the Canadian supreme court — and they have the right to evict Coastal Gaslink, and its pipeline, from its homelands.In 2021, Chief Dsta’hyl, a Wet’suwet’en...

Technology tamfitronics The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released the first three encryption standards designed to resist future cyberattacks based on quantum computing technology.The agency encourages system administrators to start the transition to the new algorithms as soon as possible, since timely adoption is paramount for protecting sensitive information from attackers with a retrospective decryption strategy, also referred to as "harvest now, decrypt later."Technology tamfitronics BackgroundQuantum computing is based on the principles of quantum mechanics, e.g. superposition, interference, entanglement, and uses qubits (quantum bits) as the basic unit of information, the equivalent of bits in classic computing systems.Unlike a binary bit, which can only exist in one state (either one or zero) at a time, a qubit is a two-state system that can exist in a superposition of the two states, similar to...

File Photo courtesy of NASAAug. 13 (UPI) -- For the first time, ultra-cold atoms have been used to detect changes in the surrounding environment in space, taking a step of revolutionizing how quantum science can be used.A new study released Tuesday in the science journal Nature Communications, NASA's Cold Atom Lab on the International Space Station measured subtle vibrations of the orbiting lab.The team using the Cold Atom Lab made their measurements with an interferometer, a quantum tool that can accurately measure gravity, magnetic fields and other forces. Earth-bound scientists use the tool to study gravity and technologies to help aircraft and ship navigation.Physicists hope using such technology in space will allow...
