Así es 'Avatar Project',la iniciativa de un multimillonario ruso para construir el primer ciborg de la historia en 2045 – Investigación – Noticias, última hora, vídeos y fotos de Investigación en lainformacion. Hay muchas maneras de gastar el dinero, y más si te sobra claro.
Si eres multimillonario puedes comprarte casas en cualquier parte del mundo, coches de lujo, yates, aviones o crear una línea de investigación que se acerque a la ciencia ficción. Es lo que está haciendo Dmitry Itskov con su '2045 Initiative', que pretende desarrollar el primer ciborg de la historia. Va en serio. Desde hace dos años, Itskov está agrupando a científicos que estén dispuestos a trabajar en su proyecto. "Creemos que es posible y necesario eliminar el envejecimiento o incluso la muerte, […] superar los límites establecidos actualmente por las restricciones del cuerpo físico", dice la web del proyecto.

Nelumbo nucifera from China, more commonly known as the “sacred lotus” (credit: Jane Shen-Miller/UCLA) A team of 70 scientists from the U.S., China, Australia and Japan reports having sequenced and annotated more than 86 percent of the genome of the “sacred lotus,” which is believed to have a powerful genetic system that repairs genetic defects, and may hold secrets about aging successfully.
The Nelumbo nucifera plant is revered in China and elsewhere as a symbol of spiritual purity and longevity. Thought experiment: build a supercomputer replica of the human brain.

Researchers produce first complete computer model of an organism. July 19, 2012 A mammoth effort has produced a complete computational model of the bacterium Mycoplasma genitalium, opening the door for biological computer-aided design. By Max McClure The Covert Lab incorporated more than 1,900 experimentally observed parameters into their model of the tiny parasite Mycoplasma genitalium. (Illustration: Erik Jacobsen / Covert Lab) In a breakthrough effort for computational biology, the world's first complete computer model of an organism has been completed, Stanford researchers reported last week in the journal Cell. Research / Projects / First Self-Replicating Synthetic Bacterial Cell / Overview. Genomic science has greatly enhanced our understanding of the biological world.
It is enabling researchers to "read" the genetic code of organisms from all branches of life by sequencing the four letters that make up DNA. Sequencing genomes has now become routine, giving rise to thousands of genomes in the public databases. Graphene antennas would enable terabit wireless downloads. Nano-device hardware architecture (credit: Georgia Tech) Researchers at Georgia Tech have drawn up blueprints for a wireless antenna made from atom-thin sheets of carbon, or graphene, that could allow terabit-per-second transfer speeds at a range of about one meter, MIT Technology Review reports This would make it possible to obtain 10 high-definition movies by waving your phone past another device for one second.
At even shorter ranges, such as a few centimeters, data rates of up to 100 terabits per second are theoretically possible. Publicación de resultados y productos de las tareas realizadas.

/J. Neural Eng.) What is the Brain Activity Map? A Q&A with George Church. George Church (credit: Steve Jurvetson/Wikimedia Commons) Last summer, six scientists proposed a project they compared in scope and ambition to the Human Genome Project: to map the activity of the human brain. In February, news media reported that the Obama administration plans to move forward with that effort, known as the Brain Activity Map. One of those six scientists was George Church, professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School and a core faculty member of the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering. Brain-machine implant gives rats a 'sixth sense': the ability to detect infrared light. Scientists at the Duke Center for Neuroengineering have successfully given lab rats a sixth sense: the ability to detect infrared light, a part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is normally invisible to them. The rats were wired with a brain-machine interface that included an infrared detector — but the scientists implanted it in the part of the brain that typically processes the sense of touch.
Initial training of the rats involved rewarding them with water when they successfully poked their nose into a port attached to a visible LED light. Then, over the course of a month, the researchers gradually replaced the LED lights with infrared lighting; those lights were picked up by sensors attached to the rats' foreheads that connect to the implant in the rat's brain.

Peering into the brain with a scanner of unprecedented resolution, scientists discovered that the basic structure of neuronal networks was a simple, three-dimensional grid. More than any other part of the brain, the cerebral cortex makes us human. Through the electrical activity of the neuronal networks packed into the brain’s undulating outer surface we sense our environment, use and understand language, and separate good and evil.
So, then, the biologist’s mantra, “form follows function,” means that when we learn about brain structure, we learn about our very nature. No More Skipping Your Medicine – FDA Approves First Digital Pill. Approved by the FDA, a sand-sized chip sends a signal via cell phone to doctors to let them know when and if medication was taken. The Food and Drug Administration has just approved a device that is integrated into pills and let’s doctors know when patients take their medicine – and when they don’t.
Adherence to prescriptions is a serious problem, as about half of all patients don’t take medications the way they’re supposed to. But with patients doctors now becoming big brother, that statistic could change drastically. The device, made by Proteus Digital Health, is a silicon chip about the size of a sand particle. With no battery and no sensor, it is powered by the body itself. The Life Cycle of a Technology (by Donald Norman) Donald A. Norman © 1998 Donald A. Norman, All rights reserved. As I wrote " The Invisible Computer ," I was struck by a paradox.
On the one hand, there is very substantial agreement that ease of use and understandability are important. Similarly, good industrial design, simple, short documentation, and convenient, pleasing products are superior. wondered why, if ease of use and understandability seems to important, On the other hand, much of the computer technology today violates all these things, yet the companies prosper.
