[:es]The Planetary Society’s second solar sail will attempt to use sunlight to fly through space[:]

[:es] Un equipo de investigadores del MIT ha desarrollado un sistema para convertir las estructuras moleculares de las proteínas en sonidos que se asemejan a pasajes musicales mediante inteligencia artificial. Luego, invirtiendo el proceso, ha introducido algunas variaciones en la música y la ha tranformado de nuevo en proteínas nunca antes vistas en la naturaleza.…

[:es]Fast radio bursts (FRBs)—intense blasts of radio waves from distant galaxies—have perplexed astronomers since they were first detected a dozen years ago. The bursts are so brief, only about one-thousandth of a second, that it’s usually impossible to pinpoint their origins—or their cause, be it a supernova, a neutron star, or something even more exotic.[:]

[:es]A DNA “knot” breaks several rules thought hard and fast. Now the race is on to understand it.[:]

[:es]Argiaren propietate batzuk aspalditik ezagutzen eta kontrolatzen dituzte zientzialariek, eta aplikazio ugaritan dira erabilgarriak: intentsitatea, uhin-maiztasuna… Orain, beste propietate bat ere kontrola dezaketela frogatu dute: bihurdura. Salamancako (Espainia) eta Colorado Boulder (AEB) unibertsitateetako ikertzaileek egin dute lan hori, eta Science aldizkarian eman dute emaitzen berri.[:]

[:es] The Dragonfly mission will explore Titan’s atmosphere and hydrocarbon lakes. [:]

[:es]Lurking behind Einstein’s theory of gravity and our modern understanding of particle physics is the deceptively simple idea of symmetry. But physicists are beginning to question whether focusing on symmetry is still as productive as it once was.[:]

[:es]Millones de personas en todo el mundo conviven con pitidos o zumbidos permanentes que aún no tienen cura [:]

[:es]The perpetual shortage of human organs for transplant has researchers turning to farm animals. Several biotech companies are genetically engineering pigs to make their organs more compatible with the human body. But some scientists are pursuing a different solution: growing fully human organs in pigs, sheep, or other animals, which could then be harvested for…
