MINE: Tool recognizes patterns in large data sets
Cambridge (ip-192.com): Researchers from the Broad Institute and Harvard University have developed a tool that can tackle large data sets in a way that no other software program can. Part of a suite of statistical tools called MINE, which stands for Maximal Information-based Nonparametric Exploration, is able to analyze a broad spectrum of patterns. It [...]
Photonic chips built on a Silicon platform
Cambridge (ip-192.com): The development of photonic chips, devices that use light beams instead of electrons to carry out their computational tasks, is becoming increasingly realistic. Researchers have filled in a crucial piece of the puzzle that could enable the creation of photonic chips on the standard silicon material that forms the basis for most of [...]
Moving enzymes have a ripple effect on life
Oak Ridge (ip-192.com): A petascale supercomputer built by Cray at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) was necessary to study enzymes moving at the molecular level and perform hundreds of chemical processes that have ripple effects necessary for life. Previously, protein complexes were viewed as static entities with biological function understood in terms of direct interactions, [...]
Evolution: Robot with wings doubles running speed
Berkeley (ip-192.com): Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, outfitted a six-legged robotic bug with wings in an effort to improve its mobility, and unexpectedly shed some light on the evolution of flight. Even though the wings significantly improved the running performance of the 10-centimeter-long robot or Dynamic Autonomous Sprawled Hexapod (DASH), they found that [...]
Stampede: Supercomputer for open science research
Austin (ip-192.com): The open science community in the U.S. will soon be able to utilize a new world-class supercomputer with comprehensive computing and visualization capabilities. The new system called "Stampede" will be built by the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) in partnership with Dell and Intel to support scientists in addressing the most complex scientific [...]
Ferroelectric research could revolutionize transistors
Berkeley (ip-192.com): New research shows that it is possible to reduce the minimum voltage necessary to store charge in a capacitor, an achievement that could improve the efficiency of transistors by reducing the power draw and heat generation of today’s electronics. Researchers at the University of California in Berkeley took advantage of the exotic characteristics [...]
Complex biochemical circuit engineered
Pasadena (ip-192.com): The most complex biochemical circuit ever created from scratch has been built by researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). The scientists used DNA-based devices in a test tube that are analogous to the electronic transistors on a computer chip to artificially engineer the circuit. Building these circuits allows researchers to explore [...]
