A unit of matter as small as the atom also has a shadow, and for the first time a group of scientists has managed to photograph it using a high-resolution microscope. The finding is published in the journal Nature Communications and will have important implications in atomic physics, quantum computing and biomicroscopy.

A few days ago, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) announced the discovery of a particle that has more than a 99 percent probability of being the mythical Higgs boson or 'divine particle', a revolutionary discovery in the physics that will explain the origin of mass.
Pterosaurs were reptiles that diversified during the Mesozoic (between 250 and 65 million years ago) modifying their body design for flight in a very different way from birds and bats. A new species of these ancient flying reptiles has recently been discovered at the Las Hoyas site (Cuenca), and has just been described in the journal PLoS ONE by a Spanish team of paleontologists in which experts from France and Brazil also participate.
A team of scientists from the University of Nottingham has discovered that spaceflight suppresses the accumulation of toxic proteins that are normally deposited in aging muscles. On top of that, traveling through space deletes seven genes whose absence of expression is related to increased life expectancy.
When an organism is developing, when a wound is closed or when tumors change places (metastasis) ... in all these cases, the cells involved must move collectively. Scientists from the Institute of Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) have discovered that these large cell movements occur in waves and "by pushing".
One in three Spaniards (34.2%) regularly uses the Internet to search for health information, according to the June Barometer of the Sociological Research Center (CIS). However, the most common uses of the Internet are e-mail (74.5%), reading the news (61.8%) and searching for information on education and courses (44.1%).
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.
