NASA's solar observing fleet to watch Comet ISON's journey around the sun Posted: 22 Nov 2013 01:56 PM PST It began in the Oort cloud, almost a light year away. It has traveled for over a million years. It has almost reached the star that has pulled it steadily forward for so long. On Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 28, 2013, Comet ISON will finally sling shot around the sun. Here its inward journey through the solar system will end -- either because it will break up due to intense heat and gravity of the sun, or because, still intact, it speeds back away, never to return.

Researchers pioneer first patient-specific 3-D virtual birth simulator Posted: 22 Nov 2013 05:45 AM PST Computer scientists are working to create a virtual birthing simulator that will help doctors and midwives prepare for unusual or dangerous births. The new program will take into account factors such as the shape of the mother's body and the positioning of the baby to provide patient-specific birth predictions.

Better prediction for epileptic seizures through adaptive learning approach Posted: 21 Nov 2013 01:33 PM PST An engineering professor has developed a computational model that can more accurately predict when an epileptic seizure will occur next based on the patient's personalized medical information.
