Extreme weather and climate events such as droughts and floods in Europe can be linked to shifts in the jet stream over the Atlantic. This has been demonstrated by a reconstruction of the jet stream over the Atlantic and Europe for the last 600 years by researchers at the UniversityContinuar Leyendo
An international team of researchers has discovered that previously observed variations in brightness across a free-floating planetary-mass object known as SIMP 0136 must be the result of a complex combination of atmospheric factors, and cannot be explained by clouds alone. París, March 04, 2025.- Using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb SpaceContinuar Leyendo
An international research team led by the University of Vienna has discovered that the Solar System traversed the Orion star-forming complex, a component of the Radcliffe Wave galactic structure, approximately 14 million years ago. This journey through a dense region of space could have compressed the heliosphere, the protective bubbleContinuar Leyendo
Researchers have developed a reactor that pulls carbon dioxide directly from the air and converts it into sustainable fuel, using sunlight as the power source. Cambrigde, Feb 21, 2025.- The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, say their solar-powered reactor could be used to make fuel to power cars and planes,Continuar Leyendo
París, Feb 18, 2025.- The European Space Agency (ESA) is ready to guide the ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter spacecraft through its closest encounter with Venus so far. Today’s flyby will be the first to significantly ‘tilt’ the spacecraft’s orbit and allow it to see the Sun’s polar regions, which cannot beContinuar Leyendo
París, Feb 14, 2025.- Launched just two months ago and still in the process of being commissioned for service, the Copernicus Sentinel-1C satellite is, remarkably, already showing how its radar data can be used to map the shape of Earth’s land surface with extreme precision. These first cross-satellite ‘interferometry’ resultsContinuar Leyendo
Widely used by the food industry, emulsifiers – a type of food additive – are found in many daily foods (sliced bread, ice creams, crème fraîche, plant milks, etc.). Given their omnipresence in our diet, the health effects of their consumption have become a real public health issue. Benoit Chassaing,Continuar Leyendo
Vaccinations alone may not be enough to protect people with compromised immune systems from infection, even if the vaccine has generated the production of antibodies, new research from the University of Cambridge has shown. Cambrigde, Feb 14, 2025.- The findings, published today in Science Advances, suggest that such individuals willContinuar Leyendo
The European Southern Observatory (ESO) has released a stunning 80 million-pixel image of the star cluster RCW 38, as captured by ESO’s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA), operating in Chile’s Atacama Desert. París, Feb 13, 2025.- Meet the colourful extravaganza of the RCW 38 stellar nursery, locatedContinuar Leyendo
Today we mark the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Join us in a journey around Europe with EIROforum organisations to discover the brilliant talents who are shaping the future of science and technology, and dive deeper into the story of a European Space Agency young professional makingContinuar Leyendo
