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 […]

Agencia SINC Descubrir cómo apareció la vida en la Tierra, el paso de la materia inerte a organismos capaces de reproducirse, es una de las cuestiones claves en ciencia. Son muchos los aspectos que se investigan, y uno crucial son las moléculas precursoras del material genético. Estudios recientes han establecido las propiedades que deben cumplir estos precursores para que […]
Agencia SINC Los habitantes de las ciudades aún respiran niveles insalubres de partículas finas y dióxido de nitrógeno, y son los de las regiones con ingresos bajos y medios los que están más expuestos. Este hecho, recogido en la actualización de 2022 de la base de datos de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) sobre la […]
As severe droughts threaten regions across the world, scientists have proposed a solution that sounds like science fiction: What if we just make it rain ourselves?

The Universe is incredibly big and seems full of potential for life, with billions of habitable planets. If an advanced civilization had the technology to travel between the stars, at just 0.1% of the speed of light, It could colonize our galaxy in roughly 100 million years. Which is not that long given the billions […]
Beloved astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson makes a compelling case for why if even intelligent alien life exists elsewhere in the Universe, it is extremely rare. Neil Tyson mentions the fact that the evolutionary tree of life on Earth suggests intelligence is not that important when it comes for survival. Neil deGrasse Tyson also talks about […]
Agencia SINC La NASA se está preparando para enviar seres humanos a Marte en la década de 2030. En esa misión, de unos tres años de duración, los astronautas se verán expuestos a un largo periodo de microgravedad que les hará perder masa del hueso. Algunos estudios indican una pérdida media de más del 1 % de material óseo por […]
How would scientists tell the world if they found evidence for alien life? According to SETI, the probability of finding alien life somewhere in the Milky Way is high, based on a number of studies showing that our galaxy contains countless Earth-like planets that orbit sun-like stars. Neil deGrasse Tyson thinks we are probably not […]

España cuenta con ocho endemismos de aves a escala mundial, […]
They are mostly invisible, essential for life on earth and could be the building blocks of our future. Here’s how fungi can clean up our soils from the mess we created – and even house us.
As temperatures rise, cloud seeding is bound to become a popular solution against droughts, floods, and fires. Do we really have the technology to make it rain? And if so, should we use it?
