A new synthetic molecule switches between emitting green and blue light after application of a solvent or mild heat. The color-changing phosphor can be leveraged for a two-layered information encoding ...

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.

Our eyes are flooded with visual information, but the neurons in our eyes have certain constraints. Thus, how do neurons select what to extract and send on to the brain? Until now neuroscientists have ...

(a) Left: encoding of blink information, the schematic indicates that the brain generates specific commands and stimulates the eyes to blink accordingly when a specific situation is encountered.

A programmable photonic circuit has been developed that can execute various quantum algorithms and is potentially highly scalable. This device could pave the way for large-scale quantum computers ...

DNA sequences encode information in many different ways. Codons specify the amino acids involved in making a protein. Other DNA sequences specify the start and stop signs for where an RNA begins and ...

Digital video cameras have the capability to record in incredible detail, but saving all that data would take up a huge amount of space. Researchers seek new methods to compress video—that is, remove ...
