We know that Internet is nothing but a complex set of network connections, which is very difficult to understand its properties. Scientists in recent times have been intensively studying about the complex network properties.
Prof. Cirac who is the Director at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, Germany along with his team of scientists have now introduced the complex networks in the microscopic, so called, quantum regim. They also proved that this quantum networks have a very surprising properties such as in a weakly connected quantum network, then doing some operations on quantum which helps in generating graphs of connections which a very unique feature & other networks doesn't have such kind of property.

In periodic networks, each & every single node will be connected to a constant number of neighbors. Hence, when these systems try to enlarge, then the topology is not at all altered. But, this is not in the case of random network, here each node will having some probability to connect to another node. Suppose, the probability becomes higher, then all those nodes will become a part of a giant cluster & if probability is too smaller then, only sparse groups of connected nodes will be available. Because of this property, it has the tendency to generate communication sub-graphs of any complexity.

Prof. Stefan Savage along with his team conducted a research to see what it would take to control an Automatic Control Units (ECU's). They created a hacking software called "CarShark" which can hack to automobile systems located in the vehicle & control the components present inside the car. They used this software & sent some fake packets of data which can attack the automobile's computer system. This was done on both moving vehicles as well as on Stationary vehicles. These researchers exactly wanted to know about how much control they can get from this.

After the research they said that, they can completely disengage the braking systems while driving which makes the driver to stop the vehicle or apply brakes when driver is accelerating which will stop the car suddenly. Apart from brakes, they could also access the engine, cooling, radio system, door locks & instrument panel.


Usually, people used to hack the ECU's to boost the engine performance. But now the conclusion is that, as there are many advancements in the automobile industries with some latest technologies. The risk also has grown to a substantial amounts where hackers in future, may develop a code hack the ECU's which might cause serious safety concerns.

Researchers have come up with a new study which talks about the moral judgments that is carried by the babies who are just 6 months old. In older research on human development, it was stated that human beings start their lives with a "moral blank state". Now the old theory have been contradicted by the new view.

Paul Bloom who is a professor of psychology at the Infant Cognition Center at Yale University in Connecticut, along with his team carried out an research. Three experiments were conducted in total which was done on the babies between 6 to 10 months old.


In the first one, the babies were shown a puppet show featuring wooden shapes with eyes. In the show a red ball attempts to climb a hill and a yellow triangle helps it to make up the hill by pushing it from behind. On the other hand the red ball is forced to go down the hill which pushed by a blue square. puppet show was repeated for at least 6 times after which the babies were asked to choose a character. About 80% of the babies chose the one which helped the red ball to climb.


In the second one, the babies were shown a puppet dog that attempts to open a box which is helped by a teddy bear. Another teddy bear was thwarting the efforts of the first teddy bear by sitting on him. This show was again repeated for around 6 times after which the babies were asked to choose a character. Again the majority of the babies chose the teddy which was helping the dog. 


In the last experiment, a puppet cat playing with a ball which is being accompanied by a helpful rabbit puppet on one side and on the other side they showed an unhelpful rabbit. The helpful rabbit used to return the ball if the cat lost it, on the other hand the unhelpful rabbit used to steal the ball and run away with it. This time 5 month babies were allowed to choose one of the rabbits, & they found that babies chose the helpful rabbit.
