Intel abandona su proceso de producción conocido como Tick-tock

Fco. José Hidalgo en Wwwhat's new? - Hace 5 horas
Desde 2007, Intel ha seguido un proceso de producción de microprocesadores conocido como Tick-Tock, un proceso dividido en dos fases donde en la primera, conocida como Tick, se aplica una nueva técnica de fabricación de microprocesadores, y en la segunda, conocida como Tock, se actualiza los microprocesadores a una nueva arquitectura. Pero los problemas que

Efforts to curtail world temps will almost surely fail

The goals set a few months ago in Paris to prevent further rising of worldwide temperatures are almost sure to fail and will never be achieved, according to a new study.

People with rage disorder twice as likely to have latent toxoplasmosis parasite infection

Individuals with a psychiatric disorder involving recurrent bouts of extreme, impulsive anger -- road rage, for example -- are more than twice as likely to have been exposed to a common parasite than healthy individuals with no psychiatric diagnosis. In a study involving 358 adult subjects, researchers found that toxoplasmosis, a relatively harmless parasitic infection carried by an estimated 30 percent of all humans, is associated with intermittent explosive disorder and increased aggression.

Academic superheroes? A critical analysis of academic job descriptions

Traditionally, a PhD was seen as a prestigious qualification where individuals, working on their own initiative, demonstrated their talent, academic excellence and a thirst for knowledge. It opened doors to the academic community and guaranteed an advantage in the job market. However, for the last decade, debate has raged about the nature and purpose of the PhD -- including its role as preparation for working in academia. Is a PhD enough to secure a job in academia anymore?

Cellular 'light switch' analyzed using neutron scattering

The internal movements of proteins can be important for their functionality; researchers are discovering more and more examples of this. Now, with the aid of neutron spectroscopy, dynamic processes have also been detected in so-called "LOV photoreceptors". These proteins are widely distributed throughout nature and are of biotechnological relevance. The results highlight the immense potential of neutron scattering experiments for the analysis of cellular processes.

La Comissió Europea acusa els estats de no fer els deures per fer front al terrorisme

Ara.cat - Portada - Hace 5 horas
La Comissió Europea (CE) ha responsabilitzat els governs dels països que la Unió Europea (UE) no estigui més ben preparada per fer front a l'amenaça terrorista i per evitar atemptats com els d'aquest dimarts a Brussel·les. El president de la CE, Jean-Claude Juncker, ha afirmat en una roda de premsa amb el primer ministre de França, Manuel Valls, que si els governs ja haguessin aplicat les propostes que ha posat sobre la taula l'executiu comunitari en els últims dos anys, "la situació no seria la que tenim ara".

11 líneas de código fuera de NPM que rompieron Internet

Fabio Baccaglioni en Tecnogeek - Hace 5 horas
Yo se que muchos developers han migrado a "lo más nuevo", lo hacen siempre, desde que empecé a programar hace como 25 años los programadores van de acá para allá eligiendo distintos frameworks y lenguajes. Node.js es uno de esos que, a mi entender, subió como una burbuja no por ser mejor que otros, por ser una moda y porque unificó dos ambientes, el frontend y el backend, en un mismo lenguaje, Javascript. En Node muchas cosas se instalan con NPM, más bien, todo pasa por NPM y esta extrema dependencia hacia un repositorio único nunca me gustó. Okey, soy de la vieja escuela, me ... más »

The tougher men think they are, the less likely they are to be honest with doctors

Men are less likely than women to go to the doctor, more likely to choose a male doctor when they do go, but less likely to be honest with that doctor about their symptoms, psychologists have found. The researchers believe this may contribute to men's dying earlier than women.

Earth's moon wandered off axis billions of years ago

A new study reports Earth's moon wandered off its original axis roughly 3 billion years ago. Ancient lunar ice indicates the moon's axis slowly shifted by 125 miles, or 6 degrees, over 1 billion years. Earth's moon now a member of solar system's exclusive 'true polar wander' club, which includes just a handful of other planetary bodies.

Seizure drug Gabapentin lowers postoperative nausea and vomiting risk

The anticonvulsant medication gabapentin—already a useful part of strategies to control pain after surgery—also effectively reduces the common complication of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), reports a study.

Teen dating violence prevention programs fall short

While teen dating violence prevention programs increased knowledge and changed student attitudes to be less supportive of such behavior, they did not actually reduce dating violence, according to this meta-analysis of research on middle- and high school intervention programs, report investigators.

Study examines where, why New York City retailers sell organic foods

A store's decision to sell organic food depends on its neighborhood demographics, and the range of organic foods offered for sale is linked to the size of the store, finds research.

Tracing star formation rates in distant galaxies

Researchers have observed 17 bright distant galaxies with the MOSFIRE high-resolution near-infrared spectrometer at the W. M. Keck Observatory telescopes. Then, they combined the spectra with infrared images of the Spitzer Space Telescope, the Herschel Space Observatory, and optical images of the Hubble Space Telescope, to create a complete multi-wavelength picture of their galaxies: from rest-frame ultraviolet to rest-frame far-infrared.

Blurred lines: Human sex chromosome swapping occurs more often than previously thought

It turns out that the rigid 'line in the sand' over which the human sex chromosomes -- the Y and X -- go to avoid crossing over is a bit blurrier than previously thought. Contrary to the current scientific consensus, new research shows that X and Y DNA swapping may occur much more often.

Scientists offer new insight on rare genetic condition

All children are screened for a host of conditions at birth, such as Phenylketonuria, a genetic disorder that is passed by mutated genes from both parents to their offspring. Currently the primary way to manage the disease is through a restricted diet. Now, researchers are using magnetic resonance imaging to learn more about the effects of this disorder on the brain and to assist scientists in developing therapeutic drugs.
