Agencia SINC El análisis de los millones de obras que forman parte del patrimonio cultural y artístico es un trabajo que parece imposible para el ser humano, pero no para los superordenadores. Sin embargo, antes las máquinas tienen que aprender a hacerlo. El proyecto europeo Saint George on a Bike, coordinado por el Barcelona Supercomputing Center – Centro Nacional […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
This team of designers and roboticist think they’ve figured out how to combat the uncanny valley. WIRED talked with Will Jackson, founder and CEO of Engineered Arts to understand how they design, prototype, and test their humanoid robots.
Watch a pair of Cheetah’s with #Sparky the #Robodog at #sydneyzoo testing animal enrichment possibilities using #robotics in a #Zoo. A world 1st from #Sydney Australia for #RoboEvents and it’s new research program and the #unitree#robodog. Very special thanks to the Curators and keepers to help guide the test. Sorry about the bad video quality, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.
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 […]
What is happening in Ukraine? How to understand from a historical perspective the relationship between Ukraine, Russia and the European Union.
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 […]
