Metasurfaces, artificially engineered surfaces that can manipulate electromagnetic signals in unique ways, have huge potential for several technological applications, including the implementation of sixth generation (6G) cellular communications. The limitations and...
Edge computing applications, which entail the processing and storage of data at the source of its production (i.e., near where it is created), is now being applied to a growing number of technologies. The application of edge computing translates into devices that can...
Over the past decades, cyber attackers have become increasingly skilled at compromising systems and circumventing security measures. As a result, detecting and accurately identifying malware is a pressing challenge for many businesses and individuals worldwide.
Online romance fraud is an increasingly common phenomenon, which can affect people of all ages worldwide. This type of fraud occurs when a malicious individual or members of a criminal organization engage with users online pretending to be romantically interested in...
As the use of machine learning (ML) algorithms continues to grow, computer scientists worldwide are constantly trying to identify and address ways in which these algorithms could be used maliciously or inappropriately. Due to their advanced data analysis capabilities,...
Cybercriminals are coming up with increasingly savvy ways to disrupt online services, access sensitive data or crash internet user's devices. A cyber-attack that has become very common over the past decades is the so-called Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack.
In recent years, many computer scientists have been exploring the notion of metaverse, an online space in which users can access different virtual environments and immersive experiences, using VR and AR headsets. While navigating the metaverse, users might also share...
In recent years, many smartphone users have become concerned about the privacy of their data and the extent to which companies might have access to this data. As things stand today, the applications that users can run on their phone and what they can do with these...
Advances in the field of machine learning have recently enabled the development of computational tools that can create convincing but artificially produced texts, also known as deepfake texts. While the automatic creation of texts could have some interesting...
Cyber attackers are coming up with increasingly sophisticated techniques to steal users' sensitive information, encrypt documents to receive a ransom, or damage computer systems. As a result, computer scientists have been trying to create more effective techniques to...
