Caro Dr. Achutti:......... Estou voltando de Houston, mais uma vez , após ter ido ao Congresso da STS em Fort Lauderdale. Fui ao Texas Heart e encontrei o Dr. Cooley ( 90 anos). Ganhei o livro de memórias dele com uma dedicatória que muito me emocionou. No livro existe uma foto dele operando com o Lillehey assistindo a cirurgia. O auxiliar sou eu. Quando eu contava para meus colegas que tinha auxiliado o Dr. Cooley, com o Dr. Lillehey assistindo, senti...mais »

New technology: magnetic recording
[image: Magnetic Reversal] http://www.york.ac.uk/news-and-events/news/2012/research/magnetic-recording/ Visualization of ultrafast heat-induced magnetic switching. Before the laser pulse, the two components of the ferrimagnetic material Fe (Blue) and Gd (Red) are aligned anti-parallel to each other. The 60 femtosecond duration laser pulse rapidly heats the material and this alone induces a transient ferromagnetic-like state, where the Fe and Gd moments are aligned in parallel. After the laser pulse, the moments relax to their usual state, completing a single switching event in less th... mais »

How to map the 100 billion neurons in the brainFebruary 8, 2012 Sebastian Seung needs your help in untangling the brain's connections (credit: eyewire.org) MIT neuroscientist Sebastian Seung believes mapping of of the human brain’s 100 billion neurons can be done — one cubic millimeter of brain tissue at a time. Even more than our genome, our connectome shapes who we are, says Seung, who outlines his vision for connectome research in a new book, *Connectome*. “Clearly genes are very important, but because they don’t change after the moment of conception, they can’t really account for... mais »

Zap your brain into the zone ??
Zap your brain into the zone: Fast track to pure focus - 06 February 2012 by *Sally Adee* *Whether you want to smash a forehand like Federer, or just be an Xbox hero, there is a shocking short cut to getting the brain of an expert* I'm close to tears behind my thin cover of sandbags as 20 screaming, masked men run towards me at full speed, strapped into suicide bomb vests and clutching rifles. For every one I manage to shoot dead, three new assailants pop up from nowhere. I'm clearly not shooting fast enough, and panic and incompetence are making me continually jam my rifle. M... mais »

As abelhas estão desaparecendo no Brasil
As abelhas estão desaparecendo no Brasil (Scott Linstead/BBC Brasil) Sem o apelo dos mico-leões, das baleias e das ararinhas azuis, porém fundamentais à ecologia, as abelhas se encaminham para o risco de extinção. Países da Europa e da América do Norte vêm relatando o desaparecimento delas com números preocupantes. “Também há perdas no Brasil, principalmente no Sul, mas também em cidades paulistas. Antes, era muito raro, agora é mais comum”, informa o pesquisador americano David de Jong, professor da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo (USP) de Ribeirão Preto. - Na Eur...mais »
