New research shows that sharing music and video files locally would be five times as efficient, relieving the stress on the Internet's major arteries. A research project that promotes a more neighborly approach to file sharing is attracting interest from the computing industry.
A UW-led team has taken a sample of Lake Washington mud and successfully sequenced a complete genome for an unknown microorganism. The finding suggests a way to discover microscopic life in complex communities.
Personalized computer interfaces that adapt to each user's vision and motor abilities significantly speeds up computer tasks, especially in disabled users. The UW prototype offers the first instantly customizable computer interface.
New software launched today lets blind and visually impaired people surf the Internet on the go. The UW computer science student who created the software, called WebAnywhere, says more accessibility tools must move from desktop machines to the Web.
Fluorescent nanoparticles, called quantum dots, are dramatically better than existing methods for delivering a gene-silencing tool into cells. The quantum-dot chaperones help impede the cell's production of a given protein.
Most ocean robots have to talk to scientists or satellites to share information. A school of robotic fish developed at the University of Washington communicate directly, allowing them to work cooperatively without ever coming to the surface.
Gamers have devoted countless years of collective brainpower to rescuing princesses or protecting the planet against alien invasions. This week researchers at the University of Washington will try to harness those finely honed skills to make medical discoveries, perhaps even finding a cure for HIV.
President Mark Emmert and UW Computer Science & Engineering host Microsoft chairman Bill Gates on April 25 for the final stop of his six-university tour, as Gates transitions from Microsoft to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
A UW computer scientist will direct a major research project for the U.S. Department of Defense. The multi-institutional team will use machine learning to try to link vast amounts of data, including videos, satellite images and sensor measurements.
By using a popcorn-ball design - tiny kernels clumped into much larger porous spheres - engineers can more than double the efficiency of a type of solar cell at converting the sun's rays to electricity.
A surprisingly large fraction of Web traffic gets sucked into temporary black holes, in which information between two computers disappears en route. A new online observatory monitors Internet black holes so network administrators--and frustrated Web users--can diagnose problems in real time.
Digital security may become an issue for the medical profession. A team of researchers has shown that patients' private medical information could be extracted from implantable medical devices and their devices reprogrammed without the patients' authorization or knowledge.
A pilot project in the University of Washington's computer science building explores the next step in social networking, wirelessly monitoring people and things. The project is one of the largest experiments looking at wireless identification tags in a social setting.
The past is no longer a reliable base on which to plan the future of water management. So says a Science article written by a prominent group of hydrologists and climatologists that calls for fundamental changes to the science behind water planning and policy.
A tiny, single-eyed camera fits in a pill that can easily be swallowed. The device promises low-cost screens to prevent esophageal cancer.
Achieving superhuman vision could be as easy as popping in a contact lens. UW engineers have for the first time combined a flexible, biologically safe contact lens with an imprinted electronic circuit and lights.
High-resolution images and captions for the microfluids gallery.
A UW bioengineer's research images could be found in a modern art gallery. A new online gallery shares some of his favorite photos from the colorful world of lab-on-a-chip research.
Online collections of photos, such as Flickr and Google, can create realistic 3D models of buildings and landmarks. The method could speed the development of 3D digital maps by tapping the vast supply of photos on the Internet.
