New York, August 31, 2024.- A deadly liver cancer that mainly affects children and young adults rewires its cellular metabolism in order to thrive, according to a new study that opens the door to exploring new targets for therapies. Fibrolamellar carcinoma, which does not respond to conventional treatments, accounts forContinuar Leyendo
The study more generally shows how previously ignored fast brain waves define basic patterns of sleep and wake. Santa Cruz, Aug 28, 2024.- Sleep and wake: they’re totally distinct states of being that define the boundaries of our daily lives. For years, scientists have measured the difference between these instinctualContinuar Leyendo
A new study clearly shows how important it is to emphasize consensus among climate scientists Vienna, Aug 26, 2024.-Climate scientists have long agreed that humans are largely responsible for climate change. A new study, co-led by Bojana Većkalov from the University of Amsterdam and Sandra Geiger from the University ofContinuar Leyendo
In the USA, the world’s most extensive neutrino experiment, DUNE, is being built at Fermilab. The University of Bern is playing a key role in this by developing the “ND-LAr” detector, which features new technology and an innovative design to observe neutrinos. The prototype of the “ND-LAr” has now beenContinuar Leyendo
The effects of the climate crisis are felt more acutely in the Arctic than anywhere else on the planet. The weather in the Arctic is not only severe, but it changes extremely quickly. More frequent data are urgently needed to improve weather forecasts for this susceptible polar region. Enter ESA’sContinuar Leyendo
ESA’s star-surveying Gaia mission has again proven to be a formidable asteroid explorer, spotting potential moons around more than 350 asteroids not known to have a companion. París, Aug 08, 2024.- Previously, Gaia had explored asteroids known to have moons — so-called ‘binary asteroids’ — and confirmed that the telltaleContinuar Leyendo
August 2014: Rosetta arrives at Comet 67P After a ten-year voyage through space, in August 2014 Rosetta finally approaches its target comet. The team is expecting to see that the solid, central part of the comet – its ‘nucleus’ – is shaped like a potato. The images that come downContinuar Leyendo
A new study by an international team of collaborators led by researchers at the University of Vienna, and in collaboration with the Dom Museum Wien, aimed to address the questions of whether art exhibitions can make us more empathic or even change our attitudes and behaviors? The researchers were ableContinuar Leyendo
An international team of researchers led by the University of Bern has used observation-based computer modelling to find an explanation for how macromolecules can form in a short time in disks of gas and dust around young stars. These findings could be crucial for understanding how habitability develops around differentContinuar Leyendo
An international team of astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have directly imaged an exoplanet roughly 12 light-years from Earth. While there were hints that the planet existed, it had not been confirmed until Webb imaged it. The planet is one of the coldest exoplanets observed to date.Continuar Leyendo
