Vienna, Dec 23, 2021.- Rogue planets are elusive cosmic objects that have masses comparable to those of the planets in our Solar System but do not orbit a star, instead roaming freely on their own. Not many were known until now, but a team of astronomers, using data from severalContinuar Leyendo
Earthquakes of similar magnitude can cause tsunamis of greatly varying sizes. This commonly observed, but not well-understood phenomenon has hindered reliable warnings of local tsunamis. Honolulu, December 21, 2021.- Research led by University of Hawai’i (UH) at Manoa scientists provides new insight that connects the characteristics of earthquakes — magnitude,Continuar Leyendo
Antibiotic resistance is a race between us humans, who strive to find new antibiotics that can treat infectious diseases — and bacteria, which are becoming increasingly resistant. For now, bacteria are way ahead, which is why it is important for us to learn more about antibiotic resistance. A Danish researchContinuar Leyendo

London, December 17, 2021.- Crystalline silicon is the most widely used material for solar cells. However, over the last decade, perovskite solar cells, made from metal halideContinuar Leyendo
Krypton from the Earth’s mantle, collected from geologic hot spots in Iceland and the Galapagos Islands, reveals a clearer picture of how our planet formed, according to new research from the University of California, Davis. Davis, CA, December 17, 2021.- The different isotopes of krypton are chemical fingerprints for scientistsContinuar Leyendo
Patients with asthma often experience a worsening of asthmatic symptoms at night in so-called «nocturnal asthma.» According to reports, more than 50% of asthma deaths occur at night, exposing a link between nocturnal asthma symptoms and asthma deaths. Although some have proposed several triggers that explain the pathogenesis of nocturnalContinuar Leyendo
París, December 15, 2021.- “We want to learn more about the black hole at the centre of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*: How massive is it exactly? Does it rotate? Do stars around it behave exactly as we expect from Einstein’s general theory of relativity? The best way to answerContinuar Leyendo
