The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has selected FAU’s Hamming Quasi-Cyclic (HQC) algorithm for standardization in its Post-Quantum Cryptography project. HQC was chosen for its security, efficiency and practical implementation in secure key exchange, which protects digital communications and ensures safe encryption against future quantum computing threats. FAU is the only U.S. university involved among all the authors of the two, winning key-encapsulation mechanism schemes selected by NIST, highlighting its prominent role in the field of post-quantum cryptography.

Researchers at Kumamoto University have made a significant breakthrough in the field of control engineering by developing a highly accurate mathematical modeling technique for linear periodically time-varying (LPTV) systems. This pioneering research, led by Associate Professor Hiroshi Okajima of the Faculty of Advanced Science and Technology, opens new possibilities for improving technologies such as autonomous driving, robotics, and satellite navigation.

Dr. Suin Yi, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at Texas A&M’s College of Engineering, is on a team of researchers that developed “Super-Turing AI,” which operates more like the human brain. This new AI integrates certain processes instead of separating them and then migrating huge amounts of data like current systems do.

An MIT study finds NBA teams that hired more analytics staff, and invested more in data analysis, tended to win more games.
