"If the great Massachusetts Institute of Technology works in an excellent way it is because it has fostered the development of a complete entrepreneurial ecosystem around it, made up of universities, business schools, companies and, most importantly, human capital", Javier García, co-founder of Rive Technologies, defended yesterday at EmTehSpain 2012.
The influenza A virus has a complex molecular machine that allows it to replicate within the cells it infects. Now, a group of researchers from the National Center for Biotechnology of the CSIC (Madrid) has discovered the structure of said machine, a finding that solves mysteries about the life cycle of this virus that, although it is endemic to birds, is occasionally transmitted to the man and other mammals and can cause epidemics.
Put this day on your agenda: November 21, 2012. As the principal investigator of the Curiosity mission John Grotzinger explained in a radio interview, the exploration robot has discovered "a piece of information that will be in the history books" to which he added "The data is ... they really promise a lot," he pointed out, biting the tongue to avoid more data than is strictly possible and necessary. In fact, it has been precisely this secrecy that has led us to think: has it found life on Mars?
The disaster at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in March 2011 caused a humanitarian disaster and more than 100,000 people had to be evacuated within a 20-kilometer radius of the disaster site.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy (1917-1963), later known as JFK, was the thirty-fifth president of the United States, and one of the promoters of the Apollo program to "place a man in space." We collect some of his best phrases.
Although the image we have of social networks is that information travels at high speed, what we have found is that, in most cases, viral information spreads very slowly due to human communication patterns. Humans communicate in "bursts", which means a succession of calls, tweets or messages between two people is followed by periods in which there is no communication and that makes the speed of information much slower than expected .
Are there differences in the brain of a man who feels like a woman, or in that of a woman who feels like a man? To answer this question, researchers from the National Distance Education University (UNED), in collaboration with other centers, have measured the thickness of the cerebral cortex of transsexual people. The results confirm the biological roots of transsexuality.
A team of scientists from the University of Cambridge (United Kingdom) has managed to reverse paralysis in dogs and restore movement of their limbs after injecting a culture of cells from their snout into the spinal cord. The results are published in the journal 'Brain'.
Danni Büchner is invited to Sam Dylan's Halloween party. But the "Goodbye Germany" emigrant has no desire for many other party guests. And find clear words.
