The train car dedicated to transporting John Ringling across the country, often alongside his infamous circus, is now more accessible to the public due to the 3D printing of several spare train parts.

Photo-based information services that use image recognition can identify a user's location and other private information, such as personal interests and tendencies. Osaka University researchers developed an encryption-free framework called EnfPire to preserve users' privacy. EnfPire transforms a visual feature extracted from a photo so that it cannot be uniquely identified. The photo-based information service's server returns a set of candidates, which the user compares with the original image to determine the final recognition result.

Piece summarizes invited PPPL talks ranging from fusion to astrophysics at 60th APS-DPP annual meeting.

NIMS and the Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago have jointly developed a Computer-Aided Material Design (CAMaD) system capable of extracting information related to fabrication processes and material structures and properties--factors vital to material design--and organizing and visualizing the relationship between them. The use of this system enables information from thousands of scientific and technical articles to be summarized in a single chart, rationalizing and expediting material design.

With energy demands rising, researchers at Penn State Behrend and the University of Tabriz, Iran, have completed an algorithm -- or approach -- to design more efficient wind farms, helping to generate more revenue for builders and more renewable energy for their customers.
