Speeding up one of the most important algorithms in IT

A group of MIT researchers have devised a new algorithm that improves on the fast Fourier transform - used for signal processing as well as compressing image and audio files. 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.
