Researchers have developed a way to peek inside electronic parts as they're running and plan to see if they can snoop encrypted data

Terahertz waves have been an exciting area of research in the past few years because they can be used to examine the internal structures of objects without the risks associated with X-rays. Now one research team has used the tiny waves to peer into the inner workings of transistors while they're operating, and is exploring whether the technique could be used to read any data stored in a chip.

As reported by IEEE Spectrum (via Tom's Hardware), the multinational research group (comprising engineers from universities in Australia...
