Imagine you’re standing in front of a closed door. Behind it is a teenager’s bedroom, and your task is to rate how messy it is on a scale of 1 to 10. But here’s the twist: you can’t open the door – ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy remains positive and vanishes at ...

How it works When laser light passes through a cavity filled with atoms, part of it can do useful work. In this example the work is charging a quantum battery (top). The rest of the light turns into ...

For decades, Arieh Warshel, USC Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and a 2013 Nobel laureate, has used computer simulations to understand how enzymes—fundamental to nearly every biological process ...

Abstract: The paper provides an overview of the quantization and entropy coding methods in the Versatile Video Coding (VVC) standard. Special focus is laid on techniques that improve coding efficiency ...

Abstract: In recent years, how to quantify visualizations of an object and surface displayed in 3D space is now more prominent with a rapid increase in the demand for three-dimensional (3D) content.

This codebase is built modularly to promote future research (as opposed to a more compact framework, which would be better for applications). The primary files are # load in a pretrained model ...
