Computer program assesses quality of Wikipedia entries

Posted: 06 Aug 2014 11:22 AM PDT

Wikipedia the free, online collaborative encyclopedia is an important source of information. However, while the team of volunteer editors endeavors to maintain high standards, there are occasionally problems with the veracity of content, deliberate vandalism and incomplete entries. Computer scientists have now devised a software algorithm that can automatically check a particular entry and rank it according to quality.

Ion duet offers tunable module for quantum simulator

Posted: 06 Aug 2014 10:45 AM PDT

Physicists have demonstrated a pas de deux of atomic ions that combines the fine choreography of dance with precise individual control. The ion duet is a component for a flexible quantum simulator that could be scaled up in size and configured to model quantum systems of a complexity that overwhelms traditional computer simulations.
