Image compression has been one of the constantly evolving challenges in computer science. Programers and researchers are always trying to improve current standards or create new ones to get better image quality at a lower size.
In everyday life, stillness is an illusion. Not so in this lab, where scientists rendered an object as motionless as the laws of physics permit.
Researchers have found a way to turn common trash, like coffee grounds, food scraps and plastic waste, into graphene. Learn more about this breakthrough study.
Dataset Search launches publicly with an index of 25 million datasets, helping scientists, journalists, students, data geeks to find data.
Model may predict why you can’t recall what you know you remember.
The facial recognition startup claims it collected billions of photos from sites like Facebook and Twitter. What does the practice mean for the open web?
Google and its partners at the Janelia Research Campus today released the largest, most detailed set of brain scans ever published. The project encompasses nearly one-third of the brain of a fruit fly and includes detailed mappings for more than 25 thousand neurons featuring more than 20 million synapses. The best part: it’s all been …
Legendary Bristol-based outfit Massive Attack is turning over data from various tours and recording stints to Manchester University in the name of research. The Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research will use the volunteered information to assess the primary sources of carbon emissions within the industry, from “band travel and production, audience transport and venue.”…
Scientists say ultra-slippery toilet coating could save a huge amount of water across the planet.
Passwords can be insecure, easy to lose and easier to forget, so can new tech protect us?
a group of scientists have discovered 143 previously unknown 'geoglyphs' in peru using artificial intelligence and satellites to uncover ancient drawings.
An absurdly powerful laser can trap an air bubble in a layer of metal, so that it’ll float no matter what.
Taste and smell receptors in unexpected organs monitor the state of the body’s natural microbial health and raise an alarm over invading parasites.
Stefano Boeri Architetti studio is back again with another ambitious project – a Smart Forest City in Cancun, Mexico.
Scientists say we are close to making fusion power a reality – but will it arrive in time to combat climate change?
Electric cars could make a huge dent in the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. But they still make a tiny 2 percent of cars on the road today. A big speed bump they face is the hour or so it takes to charge.
That could change, thanks to a new discovery by Pennsylvania State University researchers. They have come up with a technique to charge lithium battery in just 10 minutes for 200 to 300 miles of driving.
A decades-old idea is finally getting a chance to shine—that is, a chance to send sunshine harvested by a satellite down to Earth.
Sarah, “the world’s smartest chimp,” died in July 2019, just before her 60th birthday. For the majority of her life, she served as a research subject, providing scientists with a window into the thoughts of homo sapiens’ nearest living relative. Sarah’s death provides an opportunity to reflect on a foundational question: can we really know …
The UK government has called for experts to help it develop standards for bioplastic and biodegradable plastic, amid rising concern over greenwashing.
