Two new studies suggest optical computing, which uses light to process data, is much closer to becoming a faster, more energy-efficient alternative to conventional systems. One study used an optical ...

The function of traditional computing is reaching its capacity. Transistor-based silicon technologies that rely on binary encoding, are failing to meet the needs of modern science. As technology ...

A technique for controlling the magnetic properties of a commonly used blue dye could revolutionize computer processing power, according to new research. Scientists have demonstrated that they can ...

Prof. Aggelos K. Katsaggelos delivered a keynote talk, titled, "Recent Advances in Medical Imaging" at the 10th International Symposium on Medical Information Processing and Analysis (SIPAIM 2014), in ...

The MS in Computer Engineering at Northwestern is built for those ready to leap forward — to lead, to innovate, and to shape the technologies that will define the next decade. This is not just a ...

As the march of Moore's Law slows, so chip designers have had to find new ways of delivering the regular leaps in computer processing power we've become accustomed to. One of the more recent trends is ...

Using case studies and ethnographic examples, anthropologists have for some time proposed that the emergence of hierarchical structures in human societies was in part a product of attempting to ...
