Particle accelerator software restores classic audio

[Brandon B]

Physicists have adapted the algorithms they are using to sift data from accelerator runs (hunting for the Higgs boson) to cleaning up old audio recordings for the Library of Congress.

The story here.

A before and after comparison here.

Thanks, Brandon. That was truly interesting.

Now that's a really interesting "out of the box" application of leading edge technology. I wonder if it will ever be cost effective enough to clean up less valuable music? Say, something like a Def Leppard CD? That's just an example, but no joke here - I'm serious.
