Quantum computers will break RSA and ECC encryption. In this post I take a deeper look at two paths forward: software-based PQC & hardware-based PQC. gordostuff.com/2026/04/the-qu… #QuantumComputing #Cybersecurity #PostQuantumCryptography #PQC #Encryption #NIST #STEM #EmergingTechnology

Google Quantum AI just added neutral atom computing to its existing superconducting program. gordostuff.com/2026/03/google… #QuantumComputing #QuantumTechnology #STEM #EngineeringEducation #WorkforceDevelopment #QuantumWorkforce #EmergingTechnology

Quantum computing doesn't always mean exotic materials & chandelier machines. Silicon spin qubits use same material in laptop chips to build qubits from individual electrons. gordostuff.com/2026/03/silico… #QuantumComputing #QuantumTechnology #Semiconductors #STEM #EmergingTechnology

I use AI every day & tell my students to do the same. Sharma's resignation is worth paying attention to. The lead of their safety team just left saying the world is in peril and that even there, competition crowds out caution. New post: gordostuff.com/2026/03/the-ca…

Neutral Atom Qubits: In 2025, researchers hit 6,100 qubits and ran a 3,000-qubit system for over two hours. The scaling constraints remain engineering problems, not physics problems. gordostuff.com/.../making-neu…... #Qubits #Quantum #Technology #STEM #Education #Engineering

A dumb move as he was too impatient and could not wait. Now his bill for a radar replacement is over $5K.

New research from IonQ and Aalto University: multiple quantum processors connected by slow links can outperform single large processors. gordostuff.com/2025/12/slow-c…

Adding oral exams to Circuits 1 this spring. UCSD: 14% higher scores on written exams, 78% of 1st gen report increased motivation. When AI can solve any circuit problem, we need to test whether students can think like engineers, not just calculate. gordostuff.com/2025/11/why-im…

The quantum workforce challenge is real and the socks metaphor works because both systems fail immediately when you ignore the fundamentals. The difference is that socks are a little cheaper to replace than a skilled workforce. gordostuff.com/2025/11/massac…

"If we work together like we always have in America, we start to shine a light on the problem.... Through education, we can solve this, but we have a lot of work to do." msn.com/en-us/money/ot…

Engineering education has spent decades moving online. AI integration represents the next boundary. Courses that use it well will outperform traditional formats. gordostuff.com/2025/11/pushin…

Part 2 covers Intellectual Merit & Broader Impacts. These determine whether your proposal gets funded. I explain what reviewers look for & practical strategies you can use when writing.  #NSF, #GrantWriting gordostuff.com/2025/11/part-2…

Text "reorder my coffee" - AI handles it. Checks stores, finds best price, completes purchase. No clicking, no comparing prices. Major payment & retail platforms are rolling out shopping agents. Save time & money, but trust & fraud remain concerns. gordostuff.com/2025/11/agenti…

I recorded the NSF grant writing presentation I gave at University of Hartford. Part 1 focuses on intellectual merit & broader impacts: what they mean & some practical writing strategies . Parts 2 and 3 coming soon! gordostuff.com/2025/11/writin…

Engineering students ask me about AI constantly. They worry about career security and whether they'll be replaced. Here's my take from both a career and classroom perspective. gordostuff.com/2025/10/what-i…

@MdBreathe @FLSurgeonGen Need to check ours again

Spike protein antibody levels remain elevated for years following the Covid shots, and this is not normal! Thank you @FLSurgeonGen for calling for immediate removal of mRNA shots from the market.

Blog Post: By embracing real-time job data and focusing on actual skills rather than traditional credentials, we can build a more accurate picture of America's technical workforce—and better support the workers who keep our economy running. gordostuff.com/2025/06/why-we…

I've been hearing a lot lately about em dashes and AI.... The dash family shows how subtle language elements help distinguish between human and AI-written content—a revealing example of technology's impact on language. gordostuff.com/2025/05/the-da…
