Cancer Spreads from Organ Donor to 4 People in ‘Extraordinary’ Case
Posted by Genevieve Klien in category: biotech/medical
This extraordinary case shows that organ transplants can not only pass on infectious diseases, but also cancer, at least in some rare cases.
A perfectly organised conference with strong lectures and stimulating new ideas! Here’s what I will bring home from Basel, thank you and goodbye, my friends!

ISS hole: We will look back on Sept 2018
Posted by Philip Raymond in categories: astronomy, ethics, habitats, space, space travel
Someday, people across the world will look back on September 2018, much like we look back on the terror attacks of 9/11 or the safe return of Apollo 13 in 1970. They are touchstone moments in world history. For Americans, they are as indelible as Pearl Harbor, the assassination of John F. Kennedy or the first moon landing.
So, what happened just now? The month isn’t even half over, and the only events we hear about on the news are related to Hurricane Florence and Paul Manafort. (In case you live under a rock or are reading this many years hence, the hurricane made landfall on the coast of the Carolinas, and the lobbyist / political consultant / lawyer / Trump campaign chairman pled guilty to charges and has agreed to cooperate in the continuing Mueller investigation).
No—I am not referring to either event on the USA east coast. I am referring to a saga unfolding 254 miles above the Earth—specifically a Whodunit mystery aboard the International Space Station (ISS). NASA hasn’t seen this level of tawdry intrigue since astronaut Lisa Marie Nowak attacked a rival for another astronaut’s affection—driving across the country in a diaper to confront her love interest.
So What is the Big Deal This Week?!

Roadmap of technological singularity
Posted by Steve Nichols in categories: physics, robotics/AI, singularity
https://paper.li/e-1437691924#/
Recently, we might often have heard of the term “technological singularity” with the hypothesis that accelerating progress in technological inventions will cause a runaway effect that will make ordinary humans someday be overtaken by artificial intelligence.
The term seems to be appeared very contemporary to this technology era but in fact, thought about singularity has a long philosophical history.

Watch the Last Delta II Rocket Carry ICESat-2 Into Space
Posted by Michael Lance in category: space
Godspeed, Delta II.
NASA’s last Delta II rocket blasted into the atmosphere from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on Saturday carrying the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2), Space.com reported, in the rocket’s 155th and final mission.
First entering service in 1989, the Delta II was NASA’s workhorse rocket, with Saturday’s launch capping off 100 successful launches in a row. (The last failure was in 1997, when a Delta II carrying a GPS satellite exploded seconds after leaving the pad.) As noted by the Verge, prior payloads have included the Spitzer and Kepler space telescopes, the Spirit and Opportunity Mars rovers, and the original ICESat.

Japan’s science ministry seeks large budget increase, prioritizing massive neutrino detector
Posted by Derick Lee in categories: education, government, particle physics, science, space, supercomputing
Japan’s government is facing serious fiscal challenges, but its main science ministry appears hopeful that the nation is ready to once again back basic research in a big way. The Ministry of Education (MEXT) on 31 August announced an ambitious budget request that would allow Japan to compete for the world’s fastest supercomputer, build a replacement x-ray space observatory, and push ahead with a massive new particle detector.
Proposed successor to Super-Kamiokande, exascale computer and x-ray satellite win backing.
