The new algorithm could be particularly useful for image compression, enabling, for example, smartphones to wirelessly transmit large video files without draining their batteries or consuming their monthly bandwidth allotments.</p> http://www.isgtw.org/spotlight/speeding-one-most-important-algorithms-it http://www.isgtw.org/spotlight/speeding-one-most-important-algorithms-it Wed, 01 Feb 2012 09:21:03 GMT <p></p> http://www.isgtw.org/visualization/molecular-eye-candy http://www.isgtw.org/visualization/molecular-eye-candy Wed, 01 Feb 2012 09:21:02 GMT
