Data localization laws, which require data to be stored within a country’s physical borders, are often promoted as a means to enhance cybersecurity. But do these laws actually improve cybersecurity outcomes? A new study by SIS Professors and Center for Security, Innovation, and New Technology (CSINT) co-directors William Akoto , Samantha Bradshaw , and Trey Herr compiles a global dataset of data l

How can we use AI without losing valuable skills ourselves? In her column for De Tijd , mathematician Ann Dooms offers an answer. Use AI to outsource cumbersome tasks, but remain the creator yourself. Then use AI as a critic. How is AI affecting education, and how should we deal with it? Recently, I invited the Australian mathematician Terence Tao to discuss these questions. His insights, however,

The 5G mobile network is not even fully operational yet, but researchers around the world are already looking ahead to the next generation. What will make 6G different? What role will artificial intelligence play? And how can we ensure that these intelligent networks remain secure?

Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) are tiny devices used in technologies such as microphones, accelerometers, and biosensors. MEMS are highly useful, but prone to physical stress that affects their performance, stability, and reliability. Tracking this interference is important, but attaching a separate sensor to such a miniscule structure is no easy task. Researchers at Tohoku University deve
Topological quantum materials combine unusual electronic states with properties such as magnetism or superconductivity, offering possibilities for future electronics and quantum technologies. Researchers at Tohoku University have now shown that changing the number of layers in a crystal can provide a systematic way to design topological magnets. The strategy builds on homologous series, families o

Developing safer solid-state batteries requires replacing flammable organic liquid electrolytes with solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) that can conduct ions well, remain stable, and have suitable mechanical properties. As interest in SSEs has grown, so has the volume of research in the field. However, the reported data remain scattered across the literature and vary widely in format and completeness
