Abstract: Encoding and decoding of Reed-Muller codes have been a major research topic in coding and theoretical computer science communities. Despite of the fact that there have been numerous encoding ...

For more than 50 years, scientists have sought alternatives to silicon for building molecular electronics. The vision was elegant; the reality proved far more complex. Within a device, molecules ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

The room we are in is locked. It is windowless and lit from above by a fluorescent bulb. In the hallway outside—two stories beneath the city of London—attendants in dark suits patrol silently, giving ...

Since the release of the U.S. 28-point draft peace plan in late November, many officials and observers have suggested that a ceasefire in Ukraine may be on the horizon. Undergirding this view is a ...

Recap: Support for the AV1 codec has grown considerably since its launch in 2018. Large and small platforms quickly adopted the format to minimize bandwidth consumption while preserving image quality.

We can't protect what we don't understand. From decoding wolf howls to making sense of millions of citizen-science sightings, we explore the tools helping researchers understand the wild in new ways.

For centuries, humans have drawn a line between themselves and other species, initially claiming that other animals couldn't feel pain. Science proved they could. Then the argument shifted: Animals ...

Facepalm: Users experiencing issues with certain videos not playing on Dell or HP laptops running recent CPUs might not realize that both companies have recently disabled H.265 video encoding and ...

Some Dell and HP laptop owners have been befuddled by their machines’ inability to play HEVC/H.265 content in web browsers, despite their machines’ processors having integrated decoding support.
