New Detector Chip Compresses X-Ray Data 100- to 200-Fold in Real Time

New detector chip compresses X-ray data 100- to 200-fold in real time

Every second, scientific experiments produce a flood of data—so much that transmitting and analyzing it can slow down even the most advanced research. To help scientists better manage this data deluge, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have developed a new computer chip that rapidly compresses and processes the huge amounts of data generated by advanced X-ray detectors, like those at the Advanced Ph…

New Chip Technology Enables Real-Time Insights From Scientific Data

Argonne researchers have developed a new chip that compresses and processes massive data streams from pixel imaging detectors in real time. This breakthrough enables scientists to analyze results instantly and adapt experiments as they happen.
