Un equipo del CSIC introduce chips dentro de células vivas como fármacos ‘mecánicos’
Agencia SINC Un equipo multidisciplinar del CSIC ha introducido chips de silicio de 50 nanómetros de espesor —la milésima parte de un cabello humano—, dentro de células vivas, lo abre una nueva vía de exploración en el campo de la nanomedicina. Estos dispositivos permiten el estudio de los procesos de división, e incluso pueden diseñarse para interferir […]
We WILL Fix Climate Change!
Our home is burning. Rapid climate change is destabilizing our world. It seems our emissions will not fall quickly enough to avoid runaway warming and we may soon hit tipping points that will lead to the collapse of ecosystems and our civilization. While scientists, activists and much of the younger generation urge action, it appears […]
Un sistema de cuatro planetas con un peculiar proceso migratorio
Agencia SINC Un equipo internacional de astrónomos ha localizado un nuevo sistema planetario de cuatro planetas que orbitan la estrella TOI-500. Se trata del primer sistema conocido compuesto por un análogo de la Tierra, con un periodo ultracorto inferior a un día, y tres planetas adicionales de baja masa, cuya configuración orbital podría explicarse mediante un escenario de […]
Can YOU Fix Climate Change?
Never before in human history have we been richer, more advanced or powerful. And yet we feel overwhelmed in the face of rapid climate change. It seems simple on the surface. Greenhouse gases trap energy from the Sun and transfer it to our atmosphere. This leads to warmer winters, harsher summers. Dry places become drier […]
Los reptiles se adaptaron y diversificaron mucho antes de lo que se creía
Agencia SINC Los escamosos son el mayor orden de reptiles y comprende los lagartos y lagartijas, serpientes y culebrillas ciegas. Son todos de sangre fría y su piel está cubierta por escamas córneas. Se trata de un grupo clave de las faunas terrestres actuales, especialmente en climas más cálidos, con una asombrosa diversidad de más de 10.000 especies. Sin embargo, la comprensión de los […]

Brian Cox – Why Did The Big Bang Happen?
English physicist and professor of particle physics Brian Cox explains the details behind the Big Bang theory. The moment where space, time and everything else that came into existence which would eventually give rise to the present day cosmos, occurred some 13.75 billion years ago. The prevailing cosmological model explaining the existence of the observable […]
Un modelo 3D ‘in vitro’ revela cómo se origina la columna vertebral
Agencia SINC La columna vertebral es la estructura central de soporte del esqueleto. No solo proporciona fijación para los músculos, sino que también protege la médula espinal y las raíces nerviosas. Se sabe que los defectos en su desarrollo causan enfermedades hereditarias raras. Investigadores del grupo de Miki Ebisuya del EMBL Barcelona han creado un modelo 3D in vitro que imita cómo se […]
The Real Philosopher’s Stone: Turning Lead into Gold
With scientists’ efforts and their creativity, we finally found “the real philosopher’s stone.” That’s right, we can now turn lead into gold… a little bit.
Where does gold come from? – David Lunney
Did you know that gold is extraterrestrial? Instead of arising from our planet’s rocky crust, it was actually cooked up in space and is present on Earth because of cataclysmic stellar explosions called supernovae. CERN Scientist David Lunney outlines the incredible journey of gold from space to Earth. Lesson by David Lunney, animation by Andrew […]

The Beginning of The Universe – Sir Roger Penrose on His Conformal Cyclic Cosmology Model
Our universe spawned into existence about 13.7 billion years ago. The Big Bang is the prevailing cosmological model explaining the existence of the observable universe from the earliest known periods through its subsequent large-scale evolution. It is also widely accepted as being the beginning of space and time. However, there is one problem with this […]
Brian Greene – Do Parallel Universes Exist?
Brian Greene – Do Parallel Universes Exist? Renowned physicist Brian Greene talks about the possible existence of parallel universes. It’s not often that someone is able to communicate the complex theories of a parallel worlds or a multiverse for that matter in a way that’s entertaining, informative, and easy to understand. Luckily, Brian Greene is […]
