Posted 10/8/98 Encryption Advance For Secure Global Communications Scientists at the Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory have achieved a significant advance in demonstrating the viability of an unbreakable encryption scheme for transmitting secure communications to and from satellites.

Posted 9/9/98 Mathematicians Prove That Group Decisions Can Be Impossible To Predict For several years, some political scientists and others have argued that group decisions such as elections are impossible to anticipate-even if the preferences of the voters are well established and the decision-making rules are set. Now there's a mathematical proof to back that proposition.

Posted 9/4/98 Chaos-Based System That "Evolves" Answers May Be Alternative To Current Computers A revolutionary new computing technique that uses a network of chaotic elements to "evolve" its answers could provide an alternative to the digital computing systems widely used today. Described for the first time in the September 7 issue of Physical Review Letters this "dynamics-based computation" may be well suited for optical computing using ultra-fast chaotic lasers and computing with silicon/neural tissue hybrid circuitry.
