NSF's National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics focuses on the U.S. research and development enterprise

System that replaces human intuition with algorithms outperforms 615 of 906 human teams

Study finds such slayings move in a systematic pattern over time.

Recent study shows that genomic sequence elements that were previously thought to be mere “junk DNA” have a critical role

Such predictions could help surgeons make critical, time-sensitive decisions, such as when to close a wound.

Dark matter may find it tougher to hide in our universe.

An Arizona State University researcher is calling into question recent findings that the human nose is capable of distinguishing at least 1 trillion odors.

Workload handling software has broad potential to maximize use of available supercomputing resources.

Researchers have developed a new informatics technology that analyzes existing data repositories of protein modifications and 3D protein structures to help scientists identify and target research on “hotspots” most likely to be important for biological function.

Acknowledging not only the growing need among scientists and engineers for resources that can help them handle, explore, and analyze big data, but also the complementary strengths of Caltech's Center for Data-Driven Discovery (CD3) and JPL's Center for Data Science and Technology (CDST), the two centers have formally joined forces, creating the Joint Initiative on Data Science and Technology.
