A 10-year study shows that expectations of one’s own ageing are a ‘self-fulfilling prophecy’ What we expect from our own ageing is not merely a notion. In two recent studies, an international research team led by psychologist Christina Ristl from the University of Vienna has shown that our expectations regardingContinuar Leyendo
Our home galaxy, the Milky Way, grew to its current size in part by consuming smaller galaxies. Now, new data from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope show definitive evidence of a dwarf galaxy merging with the young Milky Way galaxy in the earliest phases of its evolution. This finding extendsContinuar Leyendo
Long-term study across 53 European mountain summits shows that the response of alpine vegetation to climate change depends heavily on local conditions Decades of climate change have not left Europe’s mountain vegetation unscathed. However, the changes observed do not always match expectations. As a new international study by a researchContinuar Leyendo
The Medical Research Council (MRC) has announced a £20 million investment in a new Pre-clinical Translational Models Hub, led by Cambridge, which will transform the development and testing of new medicines using human-based models and artificial intelligence. Cambrigde, Aug 14, 2026.- The Hub builds on the expertise of the CambridgeContinuar Leyendo
Using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, an international team of astronomers have discovered that dust and water can form and survive surprisingly close to the supermassive black hole at the centre of our Milky Way galaxy. The observations reveal that the evolved star IRS 3 continues to enrich itsContinuar Leyendo
The brain scans were analyzed using machine learning, providing the first ever evidence that dogs can read emotions in human facial expressions Scientists — and dog lovers — have long known that dogs are remarkably good at reading human laughs, frowns, and tears. But the biology behind this ability hasContinuar Leyendo
Observing across the starry “plains” of space, the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has taken images of NGC 2392, nicknamed the Lion Nebula. París, August 10, 2026.- The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope previously viewed this planetary nebula in 2000, imaging the lion face-shaped target in visible light and revealing featuresContinuar Leyendo
Un equipo de la Escuela de Alimentos y de la Escuela de Ingeniería Bioquímica de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso (PUCV), desarrolló una plataforma capaz de transformar este subproducto de la industria cárnica en colorantes naturales, en una proteína que puede cambiar la textura de algunos alimentos y enContinuar Leyendo
Whether a fecal transplant is effective does not depend on the quantity of “good” bacteria or the diversity of the transferred gut bacteria. Rather, key is whether the right strains can colonize the gut and displace existing ones. This is shown by a new study from the University of BernContinuar Leyendo
Identifying strategies for measuring thousands of microbial and host proteins and revealing what microbes are doing and how the host responds The trillions of microorganisms living in our intestine influence our health, from digestion and metabolism to immunity. Yet scientists still struggle to understand how these microbes shape these importantContinuar Leyendo
