O Incêndio na Notre Dame e a Destruição da Europa Cristã por *Guy Millière* • 27 de Abril de 2019 [image: Facebook] [image: Twitter] [image: Addthis] [image: Enviar] [image: Imprimir] - Apenas uma hora após as chamas começarem a subir na Catedral de Notre Dame, quando não havia a menor possibilidade de explicar as causas do incêndio, as autoridades francesas se apressaram em adiantar que o incêndio ocorreu em consequência de um "acidente" e "incêndio doloso foi descartado." As declarações soaram como todas e quaisquer declarações oficiais feitas pelo governo ... mais »

Propionato
[image: A Common Food Additive Is Linked to Insulin Resistance. Here's What That Means] *A Common Food Additive Is Linked to Insulin Resistance. Here's What That Means* See This Credit: Shutterstock A common food additive could alter metabolism in ways that could increase the risk of diabetes, a preliminary study suggests. The study, which involved research in humans and mice, investigated a food additive called propionate, which prevents mold growth and is widely used as a preservative in cheeses, baked goods (including bread) and artificial flavorings. The study found that, in mi... mais »

Translating brain signals
[image: Paralysed amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patient pictured in a Tokyo hospital] People with paralysing conditions such as motor-neuron disease often rely on technology to help them to speak. (BJ Warnick/Alamy)) Brain signals translated into speech In an effort to provide a voice for people who can’t speak, neuroscientists have designed a device that can transform brain signals into speech using artificial intelligence. The technology can synthesize whole sentences that are mostly intelligible although it isn’t yet accurate enough to use outside the lab. Researchers trained the ... mais »

Fungos no espaço
A aventura humana pelo espaço está só começando – para falar a verdade, mal saímos do nosso quintal. Mesmo assim, os passos que estamos dando lá fora já estão causando mudanças no ambiente espacial. Uma pesquisa acaba de descobrir que fungos potencialmente perigosos estão vivendo em estações espaciais e espaçonaves no momento, levados para lá provavelmente de carona no corpo dos astronautas. A questão é que não temos ideia se eles são prejudiciais para os seres humanos.
Electric Stimulation: Memory
Electric Stimulation Drastically Improves Memory of Older Folks The performance of our working memory starts to go down right around the time we finish residency. The older we get, the more difficulty we have forming new memories and holding on to them for a long time. Because it’s still a mystery how the memory system of our brains works, a decline in its function has been mostly accepted as a given fact that’s difficult to do anything about. Now researchers at Boston University have done something truly amazing, essentially giving 70 year-olds the memory abilities of 20 year-olds. T... mais »

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry on How a Simple Human Smile Saved His Life [image: exupery_lettertoahostage.jpg?w=680]Though researchers since Darwin may have spent considerable effort on the science of smiles, at the heart of that simple human expression remains a metaphysical art — one captured nowhere more beautifully and grippingly than in a short account by *Antoine de Saint-Exupéry*(June 29, 1900–July 31, 1944), found in *Letter to a Hostage* (*public library*) — the same exquisite short memoir he began writing in December of 1940, a little more than two years before he created *The L... mais »
DNA density (a trillon more times)
Today's selection -- from *Evolution 2.0* by Perry Marshall. DNA is a trillion times more dense than any computer hard drive: "We need to pause and consider just how smart cells ... really are. "Headphone cords tangle, DNA strands don't. Here's why. One cell can hold a gigabyte of data; plant and animal tissues have a billion cells per cubic centimeter. One juicy bite of steak (5 cubic centimeters) contains over 10 18 bytes of data, an exabyte -- more than all the videos downloaded on the entire internet in a single day. "If you stretched a strand of human DNA end to end, it would be... mais »

HeH+
Found at Last — The First Molecule in the Universe [image: Go to the profile of The Cosmic Companion] The Cosmic CompanionFollow Apr 18 Helium hydride, a molecule consisting of hydrogen and helium, was the first molecule to be created in the Universe, but it has never been seen in space until now. Researchers searching for this molecule for decades have finally found evidence of it in a distant planetary nebula. Just 100,000 years after the big bang, hydrogen and helium combined into the first molecule, helium hydride (HeH+). Researchers believed they should still be able to see this ... mais »
Alzheimer's Disease
*HE ALTH TECH * Alzheimer’s AI Algorithm predicts eventual Alzheimer’s diagnoses from brain scans An estimated 5.7 million people in the U.S. have Alzheimer’s disease—the most common type of dementia—and that number is expected to more than double by 2050. Early diagnosis is crucial for patients to benefit from the few therapies available. But no single assay or scan can deliver a conclusive diagnosis while a person is alive; instead doctors have to conduct numerous clinical and neuropsychological tests. So there is growing interest in developing artificial intelligence to identify ... mais »
rewriting DNA?
Can we cure genetic diseases by rewriting DNA? 16:12 minutes · TED2019 In a story of scientific discovery, chemical biologist David R. Liu shares a breakthrough: his lab's development of base editors that can rewrite DNA. This crucial step in genome editing takes the promise of CRISPR to the next level: if CRISPR proteins are molecular scissors, programmed to cut specific DNA sequences, then base editors are pencils, capable of directly rewriting one DNA letter into another. Learn more about how these molecular machines work -- and their potential to treat or even cure genetic diseas... mais »

Climate Change?
At What Point Should You Start Really Freaking Out About Climate Change? Right Now IDEA BY BILL MCKIBBEN | VIDEO BY LAUREN BOGHOLTZ APRIL 22, 2019 Last week, Andrew Wheeler, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, said climate change is not his top priority. “Yes, [the] climate is an issue and we are working to address it,” he told Reuters, while nonetheless downplaying recent findings by EPA scientists that detailed the size and time-sensitivity of the problem. But Bill McKibben, author of the new book *Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out?*, wants you to pan... mais »
