| Dance choreography improves girls' computational skills Posted: 03 Nov 2014 08:42 AM PST Blending movement and computer programming supports girls in building computational thinking skills, according to an ongoing study. This is important research, as even with increasing demands for computationally savvy workers, there is a lack of representation among women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields (STEM), the researchers say. |
| Wrangling data flood to manage health of streams Posted: 03 Nov 2014 07:24 AM PST Today's natural resource manager tending to the health of a stream in Louisiana needs to look upstream. Way upstream -- like Montana. Scientists have invented a way to more easily manage the extensive nature of streams. |
| Keeping good company on Facebook Posted: 03 Nov 2014 05:25 AM PST It seems that no company can afford not to engage with its customers and potential clients via online social networking sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, these days. The likes of Facebook have become hubs for such direct company to customer interactions where queries can be quickly answered, grievances addressed and products and services promoted through a marketing model that simply did not exist when the web first went commercial long before the web 2.0 concept was realized. What companies would like to know for sure, however, is whether or not their online networking efforts offer a good return on investment in terms of the bottom line regardless of whether they improve customer relations. |
| Step toward quantum computers: Two photons strongly coupled by glass fiber Posted: 02 Nov 2014 01:01 PM PST Usually, light waves do not interact with each other. Coupling of photons with other photons is only possible with the help of special materials and very intense light. Scientists have now created the strongest possible coupling of only two photons -- an important achievement for quantum optics. |
| Iron-based superconductor simulations spin out new possibilities on titan Posted: 31 Oct 2014 11:59 AM PDT Researchers studying iron-based superconductors are combining novel electronic structure algorithms with the high-performance computing power of the Titan supercomputer to predict spin dynamics, or the ways electrons orient and correlate their spins in a material. |
| Raising cryptography's standards Posted: 31 Oct 2014 09:09 AM PDT Calculating encryption schemes' theoretical security guarantees eases comparison, improvement, experts say. Most modern cryptographic schemes rely on computational complexity for their security. In principle, they can be cracked, but that would take a prohibitively long time, even with enormous computational resources. |
| New computer imaging approaches used to accurately measure breast tumors, chronic wounds Posted: 30 Oct 2014 12:06 PM PDT Surgeons are tweaking existing computer technologies to enhance their visualization of cancerous tumors and persistent wounds according to experts. These high-tech imaging techniques, according to their developers, are more accurate than standard methods. |
