Berkeley Lab researchers develop Bchain protocol to make blockchain more robust

Green Car Congress

Several banks, corporations, governments and scientists have already implemented some form of blockchain to inexpensively, securely and expediently store and share information. Instead of one organization managing all of this information, blockchains store data via a network of personal computers. —Sean Peisert.
