Abstract: A method for increasing a service lifetime of an electronic component includes applying a topological insulator coating layer on a surface of the electronic component and performing a test on the electronic component with the topological insulator coating layer applied thereto. The electronic component with the topological insulator coating layer exhibits at least a 100% improvement during the test when compared to an otherwise equivalent electronic component without the topological insulator layer applied thereto. The electronic component with the topological insulator coating layer exhibits at least a 100% improvement during the test when compared to an otherwise equivalent electronic component with a graphene layer applied thereto. The test includes at least one of: a waterproofness test, an acetic acid test, a sugar solution test, and a methyl alcohol test.

Abstract: Various techniques provide systems and methods for facilitating truly random bit generation. In one example, a method includes receiving a first truly random bit stream in a first memory that includes a plurality of memory cells. Each of the plurality of memory cells stores a respective one bit of the first truly random bit stream. The method further includes generating, by a logic circuit, each bit of a second truly random bit stream based on a respective pair of bits of the first truly random bit stream. The method further includes storing the second truly random bit stream in a second memory. Related methods and devices are also provided.

Abstract: A system that comprises a quantum key device configured to generate quantum information and transmit the quantum information over a first and second quantum communication channel. The system also comprises a first device, communicatively coupled to the quantum key device over the first quantum communication channel, and a second device, communicatively coupled to the quantum key device over the second quantum communication channel. The system further comprises an encryption module configured to encrypt data to create encrypted data, at the first device, using a first quantum encryption key. The system also comprises a decryption module configured to decrypt the encrypted data to create decrypted data, at the second device, using a second quantum encryption key. The first quantum encryption key is the same as the second quantum encryption key. The system further comprises a termination module configured to prevent access to the decrypted data after a predetermined period of time.

Abstract: Various methods and devices for touch screens using topological insulators are provided. One of the touch screen devices includes a touch sensor layer including a three-dimensional “3D” topological insulator that maintains an electric charge over opposing outer surfaces of the 3D topological insulator. The touch screen device also includes electrodes electrically connecting the opposing outer surfaces of the 3D topological insulator. The touch screen device also includes a controller that determines a position at which an object touches the touch screen device based on a change in the electric charge over the opposing outer surfaces.
