[Dominic Szablewski] was tinkering around with compressing RGB images, when he stumbled upon idea of how to make a simple lossless compression algorithm, resulting in the Quite OK Image Format, which ...

Recently, a research team resolved the contradiction between spatial resolution and imaging speed in optical microscopy. They achieved high-speed super-resolution by developing an effective technique ...

Bandwidth has a knack for being late to the party. Back when the internet was still a research project at the Department of Defense, we needed floppy disks to make file sharing a reality between ...

Large Language Models (LLMs), often recognized as AI systems trained on vast amounts of data to efficiently predict the next part of a word, are now being viewed from a different perspective. A recent ...

In previous episodes of this long-running series looking at the world of high-quality audio, at every point we’ve stayed in the real world of physical audio hardware. From the human ear to the ...

Given the image on the left, two study participants made the reconstruction on the right. People preferred their reconstruction to the image at the center, a highly compressed version of the original ...
