The impact experiment conducted on the asteroid Ryugu by the Japanese Hayabusa2 mission which took place two years ago resulted in an unexpectedly large crater. With the use of simulations, a team led by the University of Bern and the National Center of Competence in Research (NCCR) PlanetS has recentlyContinuar Leyendo
However, the interactive technology did not improve memory for the artworks. Vienna, Nov 28, 2022.- A new study led by psychologists Domicele Jonauskaite and Helmut Leder, both from the University of Vienna, and Christine Mohr from the University of Lausanne investigated how interactive exploration of extremely high-resolution reproductions of paintingsContinuar Leyendo
An international team of astronomers have turned a new technique onto a group of galaxies and the faint light between them — known as ‘intra-group light’ — to characterise the stars that dwell there. Sydney, Nov 27, 2022.- Lead author of the study published in MNRAS, Dr Cristina Martínez-Lombilla fromContinuar Leyendo
Fossils of a tiny sea creature that died more than half a billion years ago may compel a science textbook rewrite of how brains evolved. Tucson, Nov 26, 2022.- A study published in Science — led by Nicholas Strausfeld,a Regents Professor in the University of Arizona Department of Neuroscience, andContinuar Leyendo

Astronomers using the International Gemini Observatory, operated by NSF’s NOIRLab, have discovered the closest-known black hole to Earth. This is the first unambiguous detection of a dormant stellar-mass black hole in the Milky Way. Its close proximity to Earth, a mere 1600 light-years away, offers an intriguing target of studyContinuar Leyendo
While the physical differences between humans and non-human primates are quite distinct, a new study reveals their brains may be remarkably similar. And yet, the smallest changes may make big differences in developmental and psychiatric disorders. Madison, November 23, 2022.- Understanding the molecular differences that make the human brain distinctContinuar Leyendo
Today at 13:44 CET (12:44 GMT) the Artemis spacecraft Orion powered its main thruster on the European Service Module to slingshot around the Moon, just five days after liftoff from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA.
