Researchers from the University of Bern, in collaboration with ETH Zurich and ZHAW, have developed a new, particularly gentle method for discovering drug candidates. Instead of using harsh chemicals, they rely on Nature’s catalysts to build large collections of potential bioactive compounds. These work in water and under mild conditions.Continuar Leyendo
Dark Energy Camera captures stars, nebulae, clusters, and more in a rich, Van Gogh-esque scene Tucson, July 17, 2026.- The 570-megapixel Department of Energy-fabricated Dark Energy Camera (DECam) captures a vibrant scene, filled with swirls and stars reminiscent of Van Gogh’s The Starry Night. This new cosmic masterpiece features glowingContinuar Leyendo
Transplanting stem-cell derived dopamine progenitor cells into the brain to treat Parkinson’s disease is feasible, a landmark study has shown. Eight patients were transplanted in the first clinical trial, and no serious side effects linked to the transplanted cells were seen during the first year of follow‑up. Cambigde, July 17,Continuar Leyendo
New York, July 16, 2026.- Picture this: You’re enjoying a summer lunch outdoors, unaware that beneath the table, a hungry mosquito is circling your ankles—until you feel the telltale bite. If that mosquito happens to be carrying a pathogen like West Nile Virus (WNV), that bite could turn into moreContinuar Leyendo
People from all cultures share the ability to recognise music and respond to it with movement. Whilst the processing of music in adults has already been well researched, it has remained unclear until now how and when infants begin to translate heard musical stimuli into spontaneous body movements. An internationalContinuar Leyendo
Scientists have, for the first time, used an extremely precise genome editing technique called base editing to study gene function in human embryos. They found that a gene called NANOG is essential for forming the future body from an embryo. Cambrigde, July 03, 2026.- Research led by the University of CambridgeContinuar Leyendo
The 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time has officially started, marking the beginning of a new era in astronomy and astrophysics Tucson, July 02, 2026.- From a mountaintop in Chile, under clear dark skies, NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory has begun the revolutionary Legacy Survey of Space and TimeContinuar Leyendo
The third identified interstellar comet in human history has a surprising chemical makeup, raising questions as to how common, or unusual, conditions in our own Solar System may be. París, June 22, 2026.- As interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS began moving away from the Sun in December 2025, astronomers took the opportunityContinuar Leyendo
In April, Galileo marked a step forward with the deployment of a new signal component, known as E5a Quasi Pilot, on 12 satellites of Europe’s satellite navigation constellation. This upgrade makes Galileo signals easier to access, particularly on emerging mass-market, low-power devices used for Internet of Things and smart cityContinuar Leyendo
Modern drug research enables simple testing of hundreds of variants of a molecule For more than a hundred years, chemists have been building complex molecules step by step-bond by bond, atom by atom. But what if, instead of painstakingly reassembling molecules, they could be directly «rewritten»? This is exactly whatContinuar Leyendo
