NASA's Cassini probe, which has been exploring Saturn and its satellites since July 2004, when it entered the orbit of the ringed planet, has obtained some of the most detailed images ever taken of Hyperion, one of its moons.
We share 98% of our DNA with chimpanzees, hence the fact that their cognitive ability allows them to cook is not so surprising, according to the latest study carried out by Yale University (USA) and published. in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
A team of scientists from the University of North Carolina (USA) has discovered new clues about the origin of life 4,000 million years ago thanks to a "primal genetic code" with specific enzymes, which could have given rise to complex life. The results of the study have been published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
A team of scientists from MIT and the University of Aarhus (Denmark) have identified a total of 74 planets that orbit their stars making circular orbits, just like the Earth and the rest of the planets in our solar system.

Is it possible to restore memory to people who have lost it due to amnesia or even, going further, victims of Alzheimer's disease? These possibilities were entirely unlikely, until now.
