Astronomers from the University of Turku in Finland and elsewhere have performed a broadband spectral and timing study of an ...

When a Reed-Solomon code is expanded to form a binary code, certain combinations of the spectrum of the Reed-Solomon code and the basis used for the expansion result in large gaps in the weight ...

New results published in the journal Physical Review Letters detail how a specially designed metamaterial was able to tip the ...

“Scientists have long observed that the capability for a material to absorb electromagnetic radiation — a wave of energy in the form of sunlight and X-rays, among others — at a given wavelength and ...

"We show how planets in binary systems can undergo a mirrored migration process, so that both stars end up with hot Jupiters.

In this paper, we consider a family of one-generator quasi-cyclic (QC) codes and their applications in quantum codes construction. We give a sufficient condition for one-generator QC codes to be ...

Learn how air bubbles trapped in ice have inspired a special code that can improve communication in the Arctic and Antarctica ...

The team was inspired by bubbles trapped in Antarctic ice, revealing information about our climate hundreds of thousands of ...

Assigning certain sizes, shapes and positions of bubbles to characters within Morse and binary codes means messages could be stored in ice ...

Inspired by naturally occurring air bubbles in glaciers, researchers have developed a method to encode messages in ice. Publishing June 18 in the Cell ...

Rare star system This is the first time that a short-life binary consisting of a neutron star and a helium star has been detected. (Courtesy: Bureau of International Cooperation, Chinese Academy of ...

To a programmer, code can seem a ‘domain of sorcery’ in which strings of characters have power in the real world.
