New York, Dec 21, 2025.- One of the most exciting advances in cancer treatments in the past decade is the development of T cell immunotherapies, in which a patient’s own immune system is trained to recognize and attack dangerous cells. Yet a full understanding of how they actually work hasContinuar Leyendo
Este jueves tuvo lugar la ceremonia de colocación de la primera piedra de la instalación del conjunto sur del CTAO en la ubicación que el Observatorio Europeo Austral (ESO) le ha destinado en Paranal (Chile), marcando el inicio de la construcción de los cimientos del telescopio. El CTAO (siglas deContinuar Leyendo
The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has confirmed the source of a super-bright flash of light known as a gamma-ray burst, generated by an exploding massive star when the Universe was only 730 million years old. For the first time for such a remote event, the telescope provided a detectionContinuar Leyendo
Data acquired with multiple NSF NOIRLab facilities indicate gamma-ray burst lasting over seven hours resides in a massive, extremely dusty galaxy. Astronomers have observed the longest-ever gamma-ray burst — a powerful, extragalactic explosion that lasted over seven hours. Rapid follow-up observations with the U.S. Department of Energy-fabricated Dark Energy CameraContinuar Leyendo
When ice melts into water, it happens quickly, with the transition from solid to liquid being immediate. However, very thin materials do not adhere to these rules. Instead, an unusual state between solid and liquid arises: the hexatic phase. Researchers at the University of Vienna have now succeeded in directlyContinuar Leyendo
Bern, December 05, 2025.- Nine awarded research projects: Of the 425 applications submitted to the Swiss National Science Foundation’s (SNSF) call for proposals for its SNSF Starting Grants 2025, nine from the University of Bern are being supported. The funding amount for the researchers having submitted with the University ofContinuar Leyendo
París, Dec 04, 2025.- During November 2025, ESA’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) used five of its science instruments to observe 3I/ATLAS. The instruments collected information about how the comet is behaving and what it is made of. In addition, Juice snapped the comet with its onboard Navigation Camera (NavCam),Continuar Leyendo
Which words do we find beautiful? And do beautifully sounding words stick better in memory? A new study led by linguist Theresa Matzinger from the University of Vienna suggests that the phonemic composition of words influences as how beautiful we perceive them to be, and how well we remember them.Continuar Leyendo
A new study, led by the University of Vienna and the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven, shows how the eyes of adult marine bristleworms continue to grow throughout life – driven by a ring of neural stem cells reminiscent of vertebrate eyes. What’s more, these stem cells respond to environmentalContinuar Leyendo
Four major turning points around ages nine, 32, 66 and 83 create five broad eras of neural wiring over the average human lifespan. Cambrigde, Nov 28, 2025.- Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have identified five “major epochs” of brain structure over the course of a human life, as our brainsContinuar Leyendo
