Conoce a los juegos que usarán el motor CryEngine este año

Lisandro Pardo en Neoteo - Hace 12 horas
[image: CryEngine] A pesar de su estrecha relación con Amazon y el uso de su tecnología en la creación de Lumberyard, lo cierto es que Crytek continúa firme entre nosotros, y la última generación de su motor gráfico CryEngine se ve mejor que nunca. Más de una docena de proyectos han decidido adoptar alguna versión de CryEngine […] La entrada Conoce a los juegos que usarán el motor CryEngine este año aparece primero en Neoteo.

Ahora es oficial: Edward Snowden fue el motivo del cierre de Lavabit

Alberto Sánchez en Hipertextual - Hace 12 horas
[image: Ahora es oficial: Edward Snowden fue el motivo del cierre de Lavabit] Documentos publicados por el Gobierno de Estados Unidos confirman que el objetivo tras el ataque sistemático a Lavabit era Edward Snowden. Ha sido por error, sí, pero tal como se han hecho eco varios medios, entre ellos The Guardian, el gobierno de Estados Unidos ha revelado sin querer que el objetivo de su ataque a Lavabit (el servicio de correo electrónico privado que fue cerrado en 2013 por haber sido usado por Snowden) era, como todo el mundo esperaba, el ex analista de NSA. Ladar Levison, el fundador... más »

EE.UU. fuerza a empresas americanas a entregar su código

[image: EE.UU. fuerza a compañías americanas a entregar su código fuente a través de tribunales secretos] La utilización de estos tribunales secretos (FISC) no permite a las compañías afirmar o negar si han recibido estas resoluciones. Agencias y departamentos del gobierno federal de los Estados Unidos han utilizado los tribunales secretos establecidos por la FISA, además de los casos civiles comunes, *para obligar a empresas estadounidenses a entregar el código fuente de su software y plataformas*, según una exclusiva de ZDNet . Las fuentes de la publicación, que permanecen anónima... más »

Confirman que el impacto de un meteorito puede formar diamantes (muy raros y resistentes)

Matías S. Zavia en Gizmodo en Español - Hace 12 horas
El impacto de un meteorito en la Tierra genera presiones tan altas que puede formar diamantes. Los geólogos lo sospechan desde 1967, cuando encontraron un nuevo tipo de diamante hexagonal conocido como lonsdaleíta en el cráter del Cañón del Diablo, en Arizona. Un nuevo estudio confirma que es posible. Read more...

New carbon capture membrane boasts carbon dioxide highways

A new, highly permeable carbon capture membrane could lead to more efficient ways of separating carbon dioxide from power plant exhaust, preventing the greenhouse gas from entering the atmosphere and contributing to climate change.

Expanding use of recycled water would benefit the environment, human health

Expanding the use of recycled water would reduce water and energy use, cut greenhouse gas emissions and benefit public health in California — which is in the midst of a severe drought — and around the world. A new study found that recycled water has great potential for more efficient use in urban settings and to improve the overall resiliency of the water supply.

Hundreds of lives lost due to variations in common heart procedure

Despite the successful adoption of modern techniques, new research from the United Kingdom suggests more can be done to reduce fatalities following a non-surgical treatment for blocked arteries.

New effects of ketamine abuse uncovered: Extreme pain, bladder damage

Research has revealed how recreational ketamine abuse damages the bladder. In two studies, medical researchers show how ketamine present in urine causes damage to the epithelial lining of the bladder, allowing urine to penetrate into underlying tissues which causes inflammation and extreme pain. In some cases this pain can be so extreme that patients need to have their bladder removed (cystectomy).

'Climate responsibility': New methodology applied to China

Using a new approach scientists have found that China's "climate responsibility", is not as significant as initially estimated. However, rather paradoxically, the latter country's "responsibility" may increase rapidly over the coming years, due to future policies designed to improve the country's air quality. Researchers obtained these results using a new methodology developed to determine the impacts of greenhouse gas emissions, aerosols and compounds which are chemically active in the atmosphere on a country's climate.

Super powerful light beams and the butterfly effect

Researchers have revealed the underlying order of chaos by observing very long and intense laser light beams and ionized matter in the so-called “light filaments”.

Saber-toothed cats hunted on the South American plains

Like the lion which today lives in the African savannah, the saber-tooth "tiger," Smilodon populator, inhabited the open, dry country found in South America during the ice age, according to new research.

Antibiotics for appendicitis: Yes and no

Using antibiotics as the primary treatment for mild appendicitis does not increase the risk for complications at least in the first year. But other considerations must also be taken into account, say researchers.

Discovery of the characteristics of subcortical regions in schizophrenia

Scientists found that patients with schizophrenia demonstrated a specific leftward volumetric asymmetry for the globus pallidus, one of the basal ganglia of the brain. The basal ganglia are involved in motivation and volition, the impairment of which may result in difficulties in social life. This finding is expected to help elucidate the underlying pathological mechanisms of schizophrenia. Moreover, it will be a step toward the development of therapeutic strategies for schizophrenia.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual Canadians report higher rates of mental health issues

Gay, lesbian and bisexual Canadians experience more mood and anxiety disorders than other Canadians, and they are more likely to turn to heavy drinking, a new study concludes.

New research gathers more evidence for innovative stroke treatment

New research has provided more evidence that an innovative treatment strategy may help prevent brain swelling and death in stroke patients. Researchers have found that Cirara, an investigational drug, powerfully reduced brain swelling and death in patients who had suffered a type of large stroke called malignant infarction, which normally carries a high mortality rate.

Ocean acidification takes a toll on California's coastline at nighttime

A new study, based on the most-extensive set of measurements ever made in tide pools, suggests that ocean acidification will increasingly put many marine organisms at risk by exacerbating normal changes in ocean chemistry that occur overnight. Conducted along California's rocky coastline, the study shows that the most-vulnerable organisms are likely to be those with calcium carbonate shells or skeletons.
