Through a $666,000 grant, NASA is supporting a collaborative research project between Northern Arizona University and Lowell Observatory, “Investigating the Stability of Trace Species in Titan’s Lakes and Seas.” NAU will receive $349,000 over three years to conduct experiments that examine the behavior of various chemical interactions. Co-principal investigator on the project, Gerrick Lindberg, is an associate professor in NAU’s Department of Applied Physics and Materials Science. He is leading the effort to understand Titan’s lakes from the molecular… Read more

Professor Bertrand Cambou publishes paper, “Cryptography with Analog Scheme Using Memristors”
Professor Cambou recently published the paper, “Cryptography with Analog Scheme Using Memristors” in the ACM Journal on Emerging Technologies in Computing Systems.
Abstract: Networks of low-power Internet of Things do not have always access to enough computing power to support mainstream cryptographic schemes; such schemes also consume computing power that can be exposed to side channel attacks. This article describes a method, that we call “cryptography with analog scheme using memristors,” leveraging the physical properties of… Read more

Dr. Inès Montaño leads NAU effort in $26 Million Dollar Center for Quantum Networks!
APMS and ¡MIRA! Associate Professor Inès Montaño is leading an NAU team in establishing the Center for Quantum Networks (CQN), a new NSF Engineering Research Center (ERC). NAU will be receiving nearly $2 million in funding as a CQN contributing partner in the areas of research, education and workforce development. CQN aims to lay the foundations of the quantum internet, which will revolutionize how humankind computes, communicates and senses the world by creating a fabric to connect quantum computers,… Read more
