Munich – The world’s first time leading British doctors have heart surgery by remote control. Although there was a surgeon in the same building as the patient, however, he controlled the robot arm from another room. (more…)

Mobile Voice System With 5.0, users of RIM’s smartphone can take their business communications through a Wi-Fi, as if they were in office.
Manufacturer of RIM has benefited from his lecture WES 2010 Orlando (Florida) to present the version 5 of Mobile Voice System (MVS), a software solution that, within a company, can connect the Blackberry infrastructure (terminals and server) with the IP PBX, to provide advanced calling features (single business number, transfer, access to the internal directory …).

Because of how the solar wind acts on the natural obstacles of the Moon, it can load the lunar polar craters till they reach values of hundreds of volts, according to new calculations by a team from Lunar Science Institute NASA.

The lunar polar craters are of interest because of the resources, including water, ice that exists there. The orientation of the Moon from the Sun keeps the bottom of polar craters in permanent shadow, allowing the temperatures of these points down to 240 degrees below zero, cold intense enough to ensure, if conditions are maintained, the storage of volatile materials, such as water, for billions of years.

Things started to Google TV. So it was only a vague plan a few months ago, the DVR Android starts to take shape. And it may well be revealed in the coming weeks, understands the Wall Street Journal. Indeed, the daily U.S. believes that Google will use its Annual Conference in San Francisco – which opens next month – to make its Google TV.

Several partners have already shown, all being eager to produce digital video recorders based on the operating system from Google. In March, agreements were signed with Intel and Sony. Since then, the South Korean giant Samsung and the Swiss company Logitech have also indicated that they were following closely the development of Google TV. (more…)

A new study concludes that the future effects of global warming could be significantly altered in small areas action specific local movements of air masses in mountainous or complex topography, perhaps doubling or even tripling, increasing temperature in some cases.

The authors of the study, from Oregon State University, used historical data, unique of its kind, obtained from the HJ Andrews Experimental forest located in the state of Oregon, to study potential changes in temperature caused by hills slopes and valleys adjacent to them. (more…)

Now, almost a decade after publication of the first draft of human genome, scientists know that many differences between individuals are not the exclusive result of the content of their genes, but also where and when these genes are expressed.

A team of scientists from Yale University, using DNA sequencing technology advanced, it has identified for the first time where individual variations along the chain of three billion letters that make up the human genome, they do their work several important regulatory genes. (more…)

A team of paleontologists has discovered a new species of dinosaur with a bony lump on the top of his skull. It is an herbivorous dinosaur, as big as a medium sized dog, which lived between 70 and 80 million years.
Nicholas Longrich’s team of Yale University found two skull fragments in the Big Bend National Park in southwest Texas, in 2008. In the long study on the two scientists made comparisons of the bone fragments with dozens of fossil specimens of related species found in Canada and Montana. Finally, the opinion is that the fossils represent a new genus of bipedal dinosaur with a skull thickness. (more…)

The blind snakes, which are often confused with earthworms, denoting a very interesting evolutionary history.

A team co-led by Blair Hedges, professor of biology at Pennsylvania State University, and Nicolas Vidal, the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, has discovered that blind snakes are one of the few groups of organisms that lived in Madagascar when this island is separated from India makes about 100 million years and still live today.

An international team of astronomers from Japan, Britain and Taiwan just got, for first time, images that reflect the distribution of dark matter around 20 large clusters of galaxies. The finding confirms the theoretical predictions had been made so far. Dark matter is distributed around galaxies as halos of irregular shapes and often elongated. The research opens new avenues toward understanding the true nature of this enigmatic class of matter not composed of atoms. The results will be published in the monthly magazine of the Royal Astronomical Society.

What is dark matter? The answer to this question is still unknown and is one of the central problems of physics and modern astronomy. And it is that dark matter really does honor to its name in a number of different ways. It is undetectable in both the visible light range and the rest of the wavelengths that are able to solve the best telescopes. Neither in the infrared, or X-rays or ultraviolet dark matter has yet revealed his true nature. (more…)

The study of comets can be very dangerous, especially at near. Since the minute particles of dust emitted into space from active regions on the surface of a comet can damage spacecraft. A team of experts has now developed a computer model that can locate these regions using only the information available from Earth. The new method could help to calculate a safe route for the flight of the Rosetta spacecraft of the ESA, which is scheduled to reach the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko in 2014. (more…)
