Earth’s habitable lifetime
Earth’s habitable lifetime: at least 1.75 billion years, say astrobiologists Why we should move to Mars before that September 23, 2013 [image: 599px-The_Earth_seen_from_Apollo_17] Good for another 1.75 billion years, say astrobiologists (credit: NASA) If we can just hold out another 1.75 billion years, we’ll be fine — as long as we move to Mars by then, **according to astrobiologists at theUniversity of East Anglia. “We used the ‘habitable zone’ concept to make these estimates — this is the distance from a planet’s star at which temperatures are conducive to having liquid water on the s... mais »
brain activity in deep coma
Researchers observe never-before-detected brain activity in deep comaSeptember 25, 2013 *[+]* Flat line and Nu-complex signals (credit: Daniel Kroeger et al./*PLoS ONE*) University of Montreal researchers have found brain activity that kicks in after a patient’s EEG shows an isoelectric (“flat line”) EEG, according to their paper in *PLoS ONE* (open access). The flatline EEG (brainwave) pattern is usually recorded during very deep coma and is considered to be one of the limit points in establishing brain death. In particular clinical conditions, it is accepted as the only criterion. *... mais »

Google Knowledge Graph
Fifteen years on—and we’re just getting started 9/26/13 | 10:56:00 AM Google Search is turning 15. Remember what it was like to search in 1998? You’d sit down and boot up your bulky computer, dial up on your squawky modem, type in some keywords, and get 10 blue links to websites that had those words. It seemed like magic (and it was way way faster than card catalogs and microfiche!). The world has changed so much since then: billions of people have come online, the web has grown exponentially, and now you can ask any question on the powerful little device in your pocket.

By Harry McCracken @harrymccrackenSept. 21, 201332 Comments Read Later For this week’s TIME cover story on Google’s “moon shot” projects — including Calico, a new company that will research ways to extend human life — I spent a big chunk of time hanging out at the company’s Googleplex headquarters talking to Googlers, including co-founder and CEO Larry Page.

When I contacted the study co-author, Jean-Marc Brillouet of the French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA), he immediately put me in touch with another team member who could speak with me on short notice (... mais »
Medical Mistakes
How Many Die from Medical Mistakes in U.S. Hospitals? An updated estimate says it could be at least 210,000 patients a year, more than twice the number in a frequently quoted Institute of Medicine report By Marshall Allen and ProPublica By combining the findings and extrapolating across 34 million hospitalizations in 2007, James concluded that preventable errors contribute to the deaths of 210,000 hospital patients annually. That is the baseline. The actual number more than doubles, James reasoned, because the trigger tool doesn't catch errors in which treatment should have been provi... mais »

By The Editors | October 7, 2013 Since 2007 economists from Cornell University, INSEAD and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) have issued the annual Global Innovation Index (GII), a report that sizes up the innovative capacities and results of the world's economies.
