Chinese researchers report being able to crack 2048-bit RSA with existing quantum computers

Chinese researchers such as Tsinghua University and Zhejiang University published a paper on the preprint platform arxiv, reporting that the number of qubits required to crack the 2048-bit RSA key can be greatly reduced, and existing quantum computers can do it. According to the researchers, Peter Shor discovered in the 1990s that it is easy

Google wants RISC-V to be Android’s T1-level supported architecture

At the recent RISC-V Summit, Lars Bergstrom, Google’s director of Android engineering, said in a keynote that Google wants RISC-V to be a T1-level support architecture for Android — that is, at the same level as ARM processors. This statement shows that Google’s support for the RISC-V open source instruction set architecture has changed dramatically.

Chinese study finds link between sugary drinks and hair loss

In a paper published this month in the journal Nutrients, researchers from Tsinghua University investigated the link between sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and hair loss in men. From January to April 2022, the researchers recruited 1,951 young men aged 18-45 and collected data through an online questionnaire. Results showed that high sugar-sweetened beverage consumption was associated
