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 Argonne National Laboratory and SLAC have designed a detector chip that compresses X-ray data by factors of 100 to 250 in real time, directly on the silicon that captures each frame.

Data Compression is available at last in SQL Server 2008. Even Backup Compression is available. This will help us save space and time. So maybe my comment about comparing storage and the financial ...
