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 ...

Most languages use word position and sentence structure to extract meaning. For example, "The cat sat on the box," is not the ...

Controlling qubits with quantum superpositions allows them to dramatically violate a fundamental limit and encode information ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have been able to create optical framed knots in the laboratory that could potentially be applied in modern technologies. Their work opens the door to new methods of distributing secret ...

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 ...

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 ...
