Ron Winslow discusses new medical techniques that are emerging to save lives when most body functions appear to have stopped. A little-known device is shaking conventional wisdom for reviving people who suffer sudden cardiac arrest: People may be able to go much longer without a pulse than the 20 minutes previously believed. The capnograph, which measures carbon dioxide being expelled from the mouth of the patient, can tell rescuers when further efforts at cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, are futile or whether they should be continued. It is the latest effort that cardiology experts and emergency teams are devising that aim to improve a patient's odds. The American Heart ...

By Science reporter, BBC News Japanese astronomers claim to have found free-floating planets orbiting no detectable star Continue reading the main story Japanese astronomers claim to have found free-floating "planets" which do not seem to orbit a star. Writing in Nature, they say they have found 10 Jupiter-sized objects which they could not connect to any solar system. They also believe such objects could be as common as stars are throughout the Milky Way. The objects revealed themselves by bending the light of more distant stars, an effect called "gravitational microlensing". Objects of large enough mass can bend light, as Albert Einstein predicted. If a large ...

SHANGHAI - The application of the Compass Navigation Satellite System, a Chinese global navigation system, will create a market as big as 400 billion yuan ($61.54 billion) by the end of 2020, the head of China's navigation management office said. Compass, also known as the Beidou system, has a similar function to the US-developed Global Positioning System (GPS), the European Union's Galileo and Russia's Global Navigation Satellite System. It provides positioning, navigational and measurement services for military and civilian use. Ran Chengqi, director of the China Satellite Navigation Management Office, said the office recently hired a third party to evaluate the ...

Has Stephen Hawking Been Wrong For The Last 30 Years?

With his cutting-edge research on black holes in the 1970s, Stephen Hawking emerged as a major player in the physics world. Then, with the 1988 publication of the bestseller, A Brief History of Time, Hawking achieved international celebrity status. As this BBC presentation shows, Hawking’s fame might rest on weaker foundations than most could have imagined. Several important physicists, including Leonard Susskind here at Stanford (see our previous references to him), zeroed in on Hawking’s major contention that, when black holes disappear, they take along with them all information that ever existed inside them, which leads to the logical conclusion that there are clear limits to ...

May 12, 2011 — It’s been about a year since we last wrote about pilot Ed Doyle, EAA 474018, of Manhattan, Kansas, competitor in the annual Valdez Fly-In and Air Show STOL competition each May in Valdez, Alaska. Doyle, who flew the heavily modified experimental Super Cub Cuzoom owned by Mike Olson, of Yakima, Washington, won the wide-open alternate bush plane category in last weekend’s annual event. In a competition where less is more, Doyle’s total takeoff and landing distance was a mere 78 feet. That’s 43 feet for the takeoff and 35 feet for the landing – best of the bunch. Last year EAA’s Brady Lane attended the STOL competition and shot a video of ...
San Antonio kids' lunch trays scanned in name of science

SAN ANTONIO — Smile, schoolchildren. You're on calorie camera. Health officials trying to reduce obesity and improve eating habits at five San Antonio elementary schools unveiled a $2 million research project Wednesday that will photograph students' lunch trays before they sit down to eat and later take a snapshot of the leftovers. A computer program then analyzes the photos to identify every piece of food on the plate — right down to how many ounces are left in that lump of mash potatoes — and calculates the calories each student consumed. The project, funded by a U.S. Department of Agriculture grant, is the first of its kind in the nation. The cameras, about the ...
Video: Japanese Mind-Controlled Cat Ears Erect and Flatten To Reflect Your Thoughts

When you think of mind control, you know you dream of having furry cat ears of your own that you can control with your brainwaves. And why not? They're adorable. They're also the latest fashion in Japan. The ears, created by a company called Neurowear, sit on top of a headband which incorporates sensors for brainwave reading. The ears spring to attention when you focus intently, and fold down when you relax your thoughts. Neurowear designed them to act like a natural body part. We've seen a fair amount of brainwave-reading tech, but not much as cute as this. While you can't compose a symphony with the ears, it is a step toward the sort of science that may help people whose ...

Mysterious Maine Earthquakes Caused by Ice Age Rebound
Post Date: 2011-05-10 06:54:37 by Tatarewicz
1 Comments
On the last day of April and first five days of May, dozens of tiny earthquakes caused Maine’s eastern coast to tremble. What could have shaken this geologically quiet region, located in the middle of a tectonic plate, far from any active faults? The last ice age, say geologists. Like a trampoline’s surface after liftoff, Earth’s crust along the eastern seaboard is still springing back from the pressing weight of a massive ice sheet that has since melted. The earthquakes are a present-time reminder of processes that are prehistoric at a human scale, but from a geological perspective still ongoing. “This action is still taking place,” said Robert Marvinney, ...

What do you see? This was the anthropic question of a year-long photographic project dubbed the Photopic Sky Survey, meant to reveal the entire night sky as if it rivalled the brightness of day. In it we see tens of millions of stars, the glowing factories of newborn ones, and a rich tapestry of dust all floating on a stage of unimaginable proportions. I hope you enjoy this new view of our place in the universe as much as I have enjoyed making it. Nick Risinger. The Photopic Sky Survey is a 5,000 megapixel photograph of the entire night sky stitched together from 37,440 exposures. Large in size and scope, it portrays a world far beyond the one beneath our feet and reveals our familiar Milky ...
Fossil of a giant ant found in North America

The fossil of a gigantic ant, similar to ones that lived 50 million years ago in Europe, has been found for the first time in North America. Some scientists believe it is a new species. The winged queen ant collected in the Green River Formation in Wyoming is "about the size of a small bird — about the body mass of a small bird as well," said Bruce Archibald, the Simon Fraser University researcher who identified it. "It's pretty impressive." Archibald, who specializes in studying fossil insects, is lead author of a paper about the ant published this week in Proceedings of the Royal Society B. The fossil had spent some time in a drawer at the Denver Museum of ...
Tiny new micro-camera is as small as a grain of sand

Researchers at a German medical institute have created a camera lens so tiny that you can only barely see it with the naked eye. The electronic eye measures just 1.5 millimeters at its widest, and is designed to peer inside the human body in endoscopic procedures. Obviously, the smaller the device being inserted into your body, the better, so news of such a miniscule camera is certainly important from a medical standpoint. The new camera is impressive for another reason as well: it's disposable. The materials used in its construction make the mini lens cheap enough to be tossed after each operation, meaning no more sterilizing and reusing the same camera multiple times. The new ...
