New research has uncovered how neurons encode and decode information and differentiate between motor and sensory signals. During sensorimotor processing in the brain, neurons are constantly bombarded ...

In the late 1930s, Claude Shannon showed that by using switches that close for "true" and open for "false," it was possible to carry out logical operations by assigning the number 1 to "true" and 0 ...

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

Ask an early-elementary teacher what the recently popularized term “science-based reading instruction” means, and the response is likely to include something about decoding—the process of translating ...

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 ...

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 ...

The world of video codecs can be a confusing one. Popular codecs including HEVC (H.265) and AVC (H.264) are widely supported, and will be familiar to streamers. But there's another codec that gaining ...
