| Computer scientists develop 'mathematical jigsaw puzzles' to encrypt software Jul 29th 2013, 20:19 Computer science experts have designed a system to encrypt software so that it only allows someone to use a program as intended while preventing any deciphering of the code behind it. This is known in computer science as "software obfuscation," and it is the first time it has been accomplished. | | Neural simulations hint at the origin of brain waves Jul 24th 2013, 16:49 Computer models of individual neurons are being assembled into neural circuits that produce actual electrical signals akin to brain waves. The results are helping solve the mystery of how and why these signals arise in the brain. | | Electronic Health Records help fight vaccine-preventable diseases Jul 18th 2013, 15:13 Using an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system to automate the immunization data shared between health providers and public health agencies enables physicians to assist individual patients faster and more effectively, while also providing more immediate, cohesive community data to the agencies tasked with promoting public health. | | Computing toxic chemicals Jul 18th 2013, 14:13 A new computational method for working out in advance whether a chemical will be toxic has been developed. | |
