Some diseases cause you to lose control of bladder filling, a problem that a team of scientists and has developed a device that allows, with an implant and an application, to monitor the function of that organ for a prolonged period. The implant, which has been tested on animals, is soft, flexible and battery-free; It […]

They discover the “GPS” that distributes the work of liver cells after childbirth
Scientists of Spain and USA have precisely described how a gene actually acts “GPS” that distributes the work and promotes the specialization of liver cells, a maturation process of the liver which only begins after childbirth, once oral food intake has begun. The researchers have proven that this specialization and maturation of the liver begins […]
They create a chip for brain analysis inspired by space exploration
Scientists chinese have developed a real-time analysis system for the complete brain image of an animal, based on technologies Normally used for space exploration. Scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences analyzed data from dynamic images of the brain of a zebrafish in real time, an animal commonly used to simulate biological processes or human […]
Schizophrenia and aging could have a common biological basis
A team of scientists has discovered that the seniors and people with schizophrenia have a series of changes in the genetic activity of brain tissue “surprisingly” similar, suggesting that their cognitive impairment could have the same biological basis. The details of the study, carried out by researchers from the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, […]
International scientists propose a solution for fast charging of lithium ion batteries
An international team led by Chinese scientists has developed a new electrolyte design that could change the fast charging of batteries. lithium ion batteriesthe Xinhua news agency reported in the last few hours. The study, published in the journal Nature, presents a solution that allows batteries to be charged in just 10 minutes at room […]
Lab-grown miniplacentas help better understand preeclampsia
A team scientist has developed “miniplacentas” in the laboratory and has used them to clarify how the placenta develops and interacts with the inner lining of the uterus, which could help better understand preeclampsia and, in the future, treat it. The study, published this Wednesday in Cell Stem Cell, demonstrates that it is possible to […]
The 2.2% of the most common tree species cover 50% of the forests
A collaborative study of 356 international scientists has identified almost identical patterns of tree diversity in the tropical forests of the planet, regardless of the continent, and an important key: only 2.2% of tree species, the most common, represent 50% of all trees. The research, whose conclusions are reported today in the magazine Nature, is […]

At three meters tall, Gigantopithecus blacki was a giant ape that wandered for a long time through the jungles of Asiabefore disappearing from the face of the Land more than 200,000 years ago. And everything indicates that it was due to their inability to adapt to changes in their environment, according to a study published […]
Mexico emitted “extreme” amounts of methane in 2019, scientists discover
Mexico issued amounts “extreme” of methane from a natural gas pipeline running through Durango, a northern border state in the country in 2019, research published Tuesday showed, citing data collected by satellites. Methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere and warms the planet much faster than carbon dioxide in the short […]
Scientists under skepticism regarding the COP28 agreement
The agreement reached in dubai in the framework of the conference on the climate change of the UN (COP28), with a call to abandon the fossil fuelsleaves mixed feelings: while the organizers and many rulers hailed it as a “historical milestone”specialized scientists received it with skepticism, criticism or cautious optimism.
