Exploiting the properties of an oncolytic virus of bovine origin for the treatment of brain tumors. It is the idea of a working group coordinated by prof. Gaetano Donofrio, Department of Animal Health at the University of Parma in collaboration with the University of Padua.
Researchers have developed a model for therapy of glioblastoma based on the use of bovine herpesvirus 4 (BoHV-4), publishing the results in the journal Neuro-Oncology. Glioblastoma is characterized by its particular resistance to conventional therapies, so the research moves on different terrain to counter the devastating effects.

The two browsers are updated tricky to plug security vulnerabilities. The Pwn2Own contest is around the corner
The navigation software is updated by Google yet. The stable version 16.0.912.77 is now available for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and Chrome Frame, this free plug-in dedicated to Internet Explorer. The update is more concerned than anything else to close the new holes in blunted WebKit rendering engine. In total, about four vulnerabilities rated important with “High” level and a problem of “Critical”.

The researchers at MIT developed a wrist-sensor to control the smart home. Energy saving and comfort at your wrist
Rome – The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is working on an intriguing project called WristQue , which will please fans of eco-home automation. A technology to always keep the wrist strap, which can be used to monitor the environment, protect the comfort and save resources. From cuff in question will be possible, for example, adjust lighting and temperature of the house, as long as you live in a environment just as “automated”.
The prototype designed by students of MIT works just like a switchboard: autonomously collects data and uses a chip to communicate wirelessly with other intelligent sensors installed in the building. WristQue The current configuration offers only three buttons. Two are used to manually set the hot and cold, while the third is used to activate the gesture when you are close to appliances such as TVs or computers that support the motion-tracking style Kinect.
If there are more people in the room with the magic bracelet, of course, the software will try to find a middle ground between the different desired temperatures and the same policy will be applied to keep the lamps lit. According to the team developing the use of the cuff within the MIT Media Lab has reduced its energy consumption by 24 percent, in a trial period of only 3 weeks.

An international team of researchers describes a system in which the use of quantum computers and remote servers can process information in the most absolute secrecy.
Rome – An international team of researchers scattered between Vienna, Edinburgh, Singapore and Dublin has tested a quantum computing system that would ensure maximum privacy and security in developing information using remote servers. In the new international research project meets quantum computer Cloud computing: the data processing is done remotely, on information that the client (also quantum) has no way of knowing anything, either on input or on operations performed, or final output.

The two giants join forces to accelerate the commercialization of retarded non-volatile magnetic memories
Rome – the memory cell more compact and less power consumption are just some of the known advantages of Magnetic RAM (MRAM). The non-volatile technology that would replace DRAM and Flash memory in the mobile field is still confined to a niche because it is not simply increase capacity and frequency without levitate the cost of production.

HP confirms the launch window of the electronic component products based on the new discovered a few years ago. The Memristors will first of all to develop solid state memory to new generation
Rome – The 2013 is approaching, and with the summer of that year we will debut on the market Memristors or “ReRAM” brand chosen by Hewlett-Packard for the marketing of products based on the fourth fundamental component of electronics “discovered “In 2008 the laboratories of the U.S. giant. HP confirms the launch window already anticipated in the past and outlines the first incarnation of Memristors: solid state drive storage more economical, efficient and faster than those based on NAND flash memory chips.

 Travels at about 2300 km per hour the greatest solar storm of the last (almost) ten years is a Coronal Mass Ejection that comes directly from the outermost layer of the Sun is a natural phenomenon, expected and not surprising, given that , as recalled by Gizmodo , it’s something that happens at least 2000 times every solar cycle, lasting 11 years: that is traveling towards the Earth, however, is particularly strong, since it is the phenomenon of this kind from more intense 2005. And more, it does not manage alone.
THE STORMS – AND ‘accompanied by a storm of protons level three (of five), an event that happens much more rarely seen, usually, “for a couple of dozen solar cycle”, and writes the portal technology, “this could be dangerous. ” Relatively dangerous, of course, with some extra attention because none of the potentially sensitive equipment will take damage: first, for all aircraft, avoid routes that pass over the poles. “Because of the structure of the magnetic field surrounding the earth, the polar cusps have a very low protection against peak solar radiation, so that any plane that passes in the end up being exposed to the problem,” writes Gizmodo bringing her interview with Doug Biesecker, a physicist from NOAA, the U.S. Environmental Administration.

 Discovery of a new substance that could dramatically decrease the risk of environmental disaster
How can you clean up a contaminated area of gallons of oil, even after the spill due to a serious accident? Simple, with the magnetic soap. It speaks Gizmodo .
THE DISCOVERY – soaps, surfactants intended as materials, can cause problems if used in large scale because of their chemical properties, which leads them to interact with lipids and other molecules they encounter in their path.
This means that you alter the contaminated substances, and this may negatively impact the environment in general.

It is the smallest unit of data storage ever obtained: 12 atoms for a bit. A memory that uses an unusual magnetism.
REACT
Twelve atoms: this is the smallest size ever obtained for a magnetic memory. Twelve iron atoms can store one bit (0 or 1), so you have 96 atoms in a byte, against tens of millions for a conventional magnetic memory.
The miniaturization of computer components, transistors and memories, has become almost common in recent decades. However, for this storage unit nanoscale, researchers at the IBM laboratory in California (Almaden Research Center) and CFEL (Center for Free-Electron Laser Science) in Germany, did not seek to reduce an existing unit. They left the atom and built their unit atom by atom, with the tip of the scanning tunneling microscope.

In Western or adventure films the hero suddenly into a hole of quicksand. At the last second he pulled out under extreme exertion of a savior again. Scientists know is for the bailout as much force is required, because small particles in fluids can have special flow properties. Especially if they are not spherical, but are shaped uneven.
