Rancagua, 29 de Mayo de 2023.- El trabajo internacional, en el que participa Santiago Tassara, académico de la Universidad de O’Higgins, establece una relación entre la formación de rocas sedimentarias en el fondo de los océanos, la evolución geoquímica del manto terrestre y la producción de grandes volúmenes de magmaContinuar Leyendo
UC Santa Cruz scientists, along with a consortium of researchers, have released a draft of the first human pangenome—a new, usable reference for genomics that combines the genetic material of 47 individuals from different ancestral backgrounds to allow for a deeper, more accurate understanding of worldwide genomic diversity. Santa Cruz,Continuar Leyendo
A trip back through time in Alberta offers evidence to bolster a recent study suggesting non-avian dinosaurs were already waning over the 10 million years before the cataclysmic event. Alberta, May 24, 2023.- Non-avian dinosaurs were probably in decline long before an asteroid smashing into the Yucatan Peninsula 66 million yearsContinuar Leyendo
Anyone with an internet connection can now join University of Arizona researchers as they work to discover asteroids hurtling through our solar system. Tucson, May 18, 2023.- Anyone can become an asteroid hunter thanks to a new program launched by astronomers at the University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory.Continuar Leyendo
Diuretic drugs from the thiazide group have been used for 60 years to treat high blood pressure. But they also increase the risk of developing diabetes. Researchers at the University of Bern and Inselspital have now pinpointed the cause of this side effect and in the process also gained newContinuar Leyendo
Researchers meet the challenge of developing a model that uses speech traits to detect cognitive decline, paving the way for a potential screening tool. Alberta, May 17, 2023.- Researchers are striving to make earlier diagnosis of Alzheimer’s dementia possible with a machine learning (ML) model that could one day beContinuar Leyendo
A new study led by Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian investigators has found that the risk of long COVID and its symptoms present very differently across diverse populations and suggests that further investigation is needed to accurately define the disease and improve diagnosis and treatment. Ithaca, New yor, May 15,Continuar Leyendo
París, May 15, 2023.- The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has enabled another long-sought scientific breakthrough, this time for Solar System scientists studying the origins of the water that has made life on Earth possible. Using Webb’s NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph) instrument, astronomers have confirmed gas – specifically water vapour –Continuar Leyendo
Discovery may help explain why a drug used to treat the disease increases life expectancy — and whether it also improves brain function. Alberta, May 13, 2023.- University of Alberta researchers have identified a neurochemical marker related to the loss of motor function and communication breakdown between the primary motor cortexContinuar Leyendo
Researchers are assessing the potential of agrivoltaics to help tackle two sustainability challenges. Alberta, May 09, 2023.- Imagine growing greens in your back yard under a solar panel, and then juicing them in a blender powered by the same energy. A new University of Alberta project is working to make thatContinuar Leyendo
