When is a byte not a byte? This month's history of cybersecurity examines the work of data scientists Jacob Ziv and Abraham Lempel, and how their theory of Universal Data Compression started to shrink ...
"The file I'm attaching is too large, please make it smaller." When you receive a request like this at work, is it enough ...
JPEG for photos, PNG for the rest is a habit, not a strategy.
Every day we interact with a lot of files from our computer. Although we don’t often think about it, we work with reports and documents in PDF format, we download videos and music to enjoy our free ...

Compression is performed by a program that uses a formula or algorithm to determine how to shrink the size of the data. For instance, an algorithm may represent a string of bits-- or 0s and 1s -- with ...
Autonomous vehicle test fleets generate more video than they can store or move. Beamr’s lossless compression keeps footage bit-exact at capture in the test vehicles, while reducing file sizes by 47%.
