How Can Spintronic Devices Be Built to Improve Computing Capacity?
See details
(Germany: Latest Thinking, 2017), 14 mins
The silicon-based technologies that is used today to access and compute information is reaching its limits. To further improve computing capacity, this essentially two-dimensional technology, as STUART PARKIN puts it, needs to give way to the three-dimensional approach of spintronic devices that use not only elect...

(Latest Thinking), 16 mins
THOMAS PFEIFER is interested in the origins of motion: how, on an atomic level, motion is coming into play and how this motion that is initially described by the laws of quantum mechanics then transfers into the classical motion we can see. For this, researchers employ a combination of spectroscopy and laser metho...

How Can We Prevent Network Security Problems in Smartphone Apps?
See details
(Latest Thinking, 2017), 9 mins
Many android apps that try to use SSL to secure network communication fail in doing so and are insecure. By detecting such security flaws and interviewing the developers, the study presented in this video shows the necessity of rethinking how developers interact with security code. As shown, developers are not, as...

How Well Do Automatic Methods for Language Comparison Work?
See details
(Latest Thinking), 10 mins
There are more than 7,000 languages spoken worldwide. Many languages have evolved from a common ancestry line but we do not yet know where all the languages have come from and why there is such a great diversity. To find out how languages are related and form a family, linguists compare them by sifting through dic...
