United States and China formed a working group to address issues of cybersecurity

Wars are not fought only on the battlefield, but also at the computer. In the case of having a low security level, a computer can be hacked easily and critical data or information could end up in the wrong hands. In recent months, two great nations of the world as are the United States and China have been working, every man for himself, to solve their problems of cybersecurity, although it has been announced that from now on the two countries will have a group computer panel composed of both sides .

John Kerry, the U.S. secretary of state, said during a recent visit to Beijing the agreement between the two nations to work together. In turn, through this alliance, it should end the endless accusations of attacks by both countries. The foreign minister of China has also made a similar statement to that of Kerry, confirming the news.

In the past, U.S. media have accused China of launching attacks against American country, while the Chinese media have indicated the opposite: that attacks U.S. is China. We now hope that the tension decreases with this new project.

DARPA is developing a navigation chip GPS technology improves

The technology GPS navigation is the most used tool in the world. It has changed the way we travel and saved us a lot of problems, but not perfect. A GPS signal can be interrupted easily.Simply enter a tunnel for the GPS or even miss some nearby outdoor signal can cause interference. Since global positioning system (GPS for short) was designed for use at military level, the "constraints" that presents can become a big problem.

To solve the problem, several DARPA researchers take time working on a new positioning technology amounts to a kind of GPS enhanced and more powerful. The new navigation chip is named Timu.

"To go from point A to point B accurately we need three things: orientation, acceleration, and time," according to DARPA says. This new chip can be integrated into devices that have sensors to measure these three things.

The Timu chip, which is still a prototype, is extremely small as you can see in the image and is composed of several layers of silica, plus a few sensors of course.

Do not know whether this technology will be available to the general public or will be used exclusively for the military.
