Spanish and Italian researchers have developed a system that automatically detects chicken eggs with a defective shell - a shell with residual feces, blood, feathers, etc.-. The objective is to adapt it to a machine that automates the sorting process in order to control costs and, above all, improve product quality, according to its creators in the Food and Bioprocess Technology magazine.
The common ancestor of placental mammals, including rodents, whales, and humans, was a tiny insectivore that diversified after the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. It is the conclusion reached by American scientists after reconstructing the ancestors of many living mammals using genetic and anatomical data from lemurs, primates and humans.

Located on the border between the constellations Canis Major (The Great Dog) and Monoceros (The Unicorn) in the southern sky, the Seagull Nebula is a huge cloud composed mainly of hydrogen. It is an example of what astronomers call an HII region. New hot stars form inside these clouds, and their intense ultraviolet radiation makes surrounding gas glow brightly.
Scientists from Microsoft Research and the Technion Institute of Technology in Israel have developed software that predicts future events based on the headlines of the news published in the last 22 years in the New York Times newspaper, as well as information from different online sources such as Wikipedia or FreeBase.
The small asteroid 2012 DA14 will pass almost touching the Earth on February 15, so close that it will pass within the ring of communications and meteorological satellites. However, NASA has ruled out any risk of a collision with our planet.
Building a base of operations for the human being on the Moon is not an easy task, since it would involve several months of works, working in unfavorable conditions and in the absence of gravity, and the astronaut-workers would have to remain on our satellite at all times. that the work lasted. However, new 3D printing technologies offer an alternative that makes the idea of having a lunar base seem no longer so difficult to come by.
One of the maxims among those who are dedicated to nature conservation is that "to protect you have to know." And this is precisely what researcher Jane Lubchenco has dedicated herself to for most of her life. His works in marine ecology have been the basis for the design of marine reserves and the protection of ocean biodiversity. For this reason, the BBVA Foundation has awarded him the Frontiers of Knowledge award in the category of Ecology and Conservation Biology.
