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
Bern, June 12, 2026.- Following the remarkable scientific achievements of the space telescope CHEOPS, the European Space Agency (ESA) has decided to extend the mission once again. The space telescope, which was built at the University of Bern and whose science operations center is located at the University of Geneva,Continuar Leyendo
El Comité del Programa Científico de la Agencia Espacial Europea (ESA) ha aprobado la misión Arrakihs. Con su lanzamiento previsto para finales de 2030, Arrakihs captará la tenue luz de los halos de galaxias cercanas. Al revelar lo invisible, permitirá reconstruir la historia cósmica y entender cómo se forman yContinuar Leyendo
Cambridge scientists have grown miniature circuits in the lab that mimic how the brain and spinal cord connect up, which underlies our movements. They used this model to show how damage to these connections previously considered ‘irreversible’ could, in fact, be reversible. Cambrigde, June 05, 2026.- As we develop and growContinuar Leyendo
