A 1981 Delorean with 309 original delivery miles is uncovered when a famous corvette dealer gets offered it as payment for a 1966 Corvette 427 Coupe. This 33 year old DMC-12 looks like it came directly out of the past and right into the future.

The embryonic stem cells responsible for producing every other type of cell in the human body gained their power from an ancient virus that copied itself into our DNA millions of years ago, according to new research. National Geographic reports that the discovery could lead to more effective stem-cell treatments for diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease, among other ailments.
The new research, published today in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology , offers new insights on pluripotency, the ability of stem cells to transform into other types of cell. The study's authors say their research demonstrates that an ancient virus known as human endogenous retrovirus subfamily H, or HERV-H, plays a key role in pluripotency.

Tenía muchas ganas de leerme este libro, así que en cuanto salió en ebook lo compré en cero coma nada y lo leí rápidamente; el que haya tardado en escribir la reseña es cosa de mi natural procrastinador.
La costilla de Dios es el título de la novela corta que ocupa la mayor parte del libro y que le da nombre a este, pero como indica el subtítulo en este se encuentran unos cuantos relatos más de distinta extensión, aunque todos más cortos que La costilla de Dios.
La línea común es que hablan de futuros cuando menos distópicos sino directamente apocalípticos o en proceso de serlo.
Así que al ser varias historias alguna te enganchará más que otra, pero para mi ninguna de ellas desmerece el conjunto y son todas, cada una en su línea, muy recomendables.
Además, y como ya he dicho en otras ocasiones, me parece una pasada que Miguel encuentre tiempo para dedicarse, además de a la astrofísica que le da de comer, a escribir ciencia ficción en español.
Así que corred a comprar el libro, insensatos.
Hot on the heels of making their entire catalog available online for free — a move that may have involved distributing pirated MP3s — hip-hop legends De La Soul are back with another free download. This time around, the trio is giving away their latest mixtape on BitTorrent. Smell the DA.I.S.Y. , which layers old De La Soul lyrics over previously unreleased J Dilla beats, is now available on the peer-to-peer file sharing network. While the album is free, downloading it requires handing over an email address — the latest demonstration of how recorded music has become a marketing tool for artists rather than a source of revenue in its own right.
Head over to BitTorrent to download the mixtape — or, for a preview, you can listen to...
Following its recent release in Japan, Disney's Frozen is now the highest-grossing animated movie of all time. Takings reached $1.07 billion this weekend, narrowly surpassing the previous record holder, Toy Story 3. The Japanese release also pushed it into the global all-time top ten for the first time. Loosely based on Hans Christian Anderson’s The Snow Queen, Frozen came out in the US last November, and was the first non-Pixar 3D animation from Disney to win an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
Although it performed well, Frozen remains only the fourth-highest performing animated film in the US. Its international run has been a massive success, however, as the past few months have seen Frozen become the top animated movie in...

A lot can go wrong when doctors prescribe drugs to patients. For one thing, there's always a chance that someone might forget to take their pill or refill their prescription. And then there's also the risk of unmonitored side-effects, drug addiction, and overdose. So pharmaceutical companies have been trying for some time now to come up with wearable drug-delivery systems that can dispense a continuous flow of therapeutics, without having to rely on the patient to physically take the drug.
There's a problem with that approach, however, because these systems don't monitor a patient's vitals. This means they can't be responsive. So when a patient needs to take a stronger dose or when they actually feel pretty good, they still receive the...

Director Ewan Jones Morris' latest work is a treat. Crafted for the British band Fanfarlo, the music video is a hallucinatory reimagining of old science journals and magazines. Morris took thousands of images from vintage publications and created collages, effortlessly turning the imagery into a bizarre stop-motion animation peppered with live footage of the band performing and interacting with the animated events. "I had to lick my finger 2,638 times turning the pages to make it," Morris jokes on Twitter, "so watch it."
A Facebook director has dismissed claims that the social network ditched last year's big redesign because it was bad for ad revenues. Those claims came from Dustin Curtis, a UX designer and writer who owns the publishing platform Svbtle. In a blog post on Friday, Curtis cited several sources saying Facebook found that testers of the redesigned News Feed were spending less time in user profiles and event pages. "The new News Feed was performing too well," says Curtis "this change in user behavior led to fewer advertisement impressions, which led, ultimately, to less revenue." However, according to Facebook's product design director Julie Zhuo, Curtis' sources are incorrect.
