How flood risks are classified can give developers and home buyers a false sense of security
Workflow to quantify the extent (km2) and spatial distribution of developed land across multiple scales compared to areas at high risk of flooding. Credit: PLOS ONE (2024). DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0311718 Common methods of communicating flood risk create a false sense of security and can lead to increased development in areas threatened by flooding. This phenomenon, called the “Safe Development Paradox,” is…

Security protocol leverages quantum mechanics to protect data from attackers during cloud-based computing
Optical implementation. Credit: arXiv (2024). DOI: 10.48550/arxiv.2408.05629 Deep learning models are used in a variety of fields, from medical diagnostics to financial forecasting, but they are computationally intensive and require the use of powerful cloud-based servers. Reliance on cloud computing poses significant security risks, especially in sectors such as healthcare, where privacy concerns may make hospitals hesitant to use AI…
