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
Southampton, May 09, 2023.- A study by an international team of researchers, led by the University of Southampton, has given an intriguing glimpse of the hunting habits and diets of Neanderthals and other humans living in western Europe. The scientists examined chemical properties locked inside tooth enamel to piece togetherContinuar Leyendo
Using ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), researchers have found for the first time the fingerprints left by the explosion of the first stars in the Universe. They detected three distant gas clouds whose chemical composition matches what we expect from the first stellar explosions. These findings bring us one stepContinuar Leyendo
For the first time, astronomers have observed, in the same image, the shadow of the black hole at the centre of the galaxy Messier 87 (M87) and the powerful jet expelled from it. The observations were done in 2018 with telescopes from the Global Millimetre VLBI Array (GMVA), the AtacamaContinuar Leyendo
Previously unknown group of bacteria in the deep sea regulates energy balance A team of international researchers led by Federico Baltar of the University of Vienna and José M González of the University of La Laguna has identified a previously unknown group of bacteria, called UBA868, as key players inContinuar Leyendo
Affordable, easily produced catalyst fuels a new process that could revolutionize off-grid energy solutions. Alberta, April 24, 2023.- University of Alberta researchers have developed a new catalyst that could revolutionize how we generate power and purify water. When placed in any type of water and provided with a small amountContinuar Leyendo
Study shows better adoption and implementation of company supply chain policies for Brazilian beef and leather could significantly reduce carbon emissions. Cambrigde, April 21, 2023.- Cattle-rearing is the biggest cause of tropical deforestation in the Amazon – and the world. A study has found that some of the world’s largest slaughterhousesContinuar Leyendo
Quakes could be the source of the mysteriously smooth terrain on the moons circling Jupiter and Saturn, according to a new study led by a University of Arizona graduate student. Many of the ice-encrusted moons orbiting the giant planets in the far reaches of our solar system are known toContinuar Leyendo
