Digital video cameras have the capability to record in incredible detail, but saving all that data would take up a huge amount of space: how can we compress a video--that is, remove information--in ...

Researchers have demonstrated the principle of using spatial correlations in quantum entangled beams of light to encode information and enable its secure transmission. Researchers at the University of ...

New research has identified a key step in how neurons encode information on timescales that match learning. New research from the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience published this week in ...

University of Texas at Austin researchers have developed a new method to encode information in synthetic molecules. Molecules like DNA can store large amounts of data without requiring an energy ...

Information can be encoded into all sorts of patterns, whether it’s short and long beeps for Morse code, raised bumps for Braille, or ones and zeroes for computers. Now researchers have demonstrated a ...

New research from the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience published this week in Nature has identified a key step in how neurons encode information on timescales that match learning.

Encoding information in DNA has long seemed like a promising way to secure data for the long term, but so far it has required an expert touch. It turns out that you don’t need to be a scientist to ...

The odd phenomenon of quantum superposition has helped researchers break a fundamental quantum mechanical limit – and given quantum objects properties that make them useful for quantum computing for ...

MIT Media Lab has discovered a new use for barcodes by shrinking their size and enabling them to encode information in the angular dimension. This could be useful in shops, the classroom, business ...

An intriguing new study from a team of Japanese researchers suggests handwriting on paper leads to greater brain activity and memory retention compared to handwriting with a stylus on a tablet. The ...
