“Room Temperature Superconductor” LK-99, Just Maybe It Could Be Real

To have been alive over the last five decades is to have seen superconductors progress from only possible at near-absolute-zero temperatures, to around the temperature of liquid nitrogen in the …read more Continue reading “Room Temperature Superconductor” LK-99, Just Maybe It Could Be Real

Research Roundup: New Digital Forensic Insights And Opportunities

February’s research in digital forensics isn’t just about the papers presented at the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS)’ annual meeting, or those published in the various journals. Last month also saw new research opportunities, either for a… Continue reading Research Roundup: New Digital Forensic Insights And Opportunities

Digital Forensics Research Looks To The Future

January was a somewhat light month in the way of digital forensics research publication, though the introduction of an Asia-Pacific (APAC) installment of the Digital Forensics Research Workshop (DFRWS) conference more than made up for it. This month we… Continue reading Digital Forensics Research Looks To The Future

A Springboard To Digital Forensics Research In 2021

This … Read more The post A Spri… Continue reading A Springboard To Digital Forensics Research In 2021

Peer Review In the Age Of Viral Video

Recently, a YouTube video has been making the rounds online which shows a rather astounding comparison between two printed models of the US Capitol. Starting with the line “3-D PRINTERS CAN NOW PRINT TWICE AS FAST”, the video shows that one print took four hours to complete, and the other finished in just two hours by virtue of vibration reducing algorithms developed at the University of Michigan. The excitement around this video is understandable; one of the biggest limitations of current 3D printer technology is how long it takes to produce a model of acceptable quality, and if improvements to …read more
