A Spanish company has presented a promising bet in pursuit of sustainable development: a non-perishable light bulb. However, the scientific community doubts its efficiency.
A team of engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has managed to design living materials (biofilms or biofilms) that can incorporate non-living materials such as quantum dots or gold nanoparticles. All from bacterial cells. The work has been published in the journal Nature Materials.
Thanks to more than 8,000 experimental data obtained in particle accelerators in different parts of the world between 1950 and 2013, a group of scientists from the University of Granada (UGR) has managed to measure the nuclear force in the most precise way so far.
Whether we like it or not, the fashion of the “selfie” (self-portraying with the mobile) is far from being something temporary.

Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 has become the talk of hundreds of conversations. How could a plane with hundreds of passengers disappear mid-flight? What has happened? Will it be possible to find the black box? The aeronautical engineer and professor of the Department of Bioengineering and Aerospace Engineering of the Carlos III University of Madrid (UC3M), Manuel Soler Arnedo, answers all these questions. In fact, his lines of research are aimed at optimizing the trajectories of aircraft, air navigation and air traffic management.
It looks like a giant sunflower, but it is nothing more than the design of a new spacecraft being developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena (USA).
What was your first tweet? Sure you have asked yourself many times but you have never had the time to see it or the necessary curiosity to start investigating. Well, Twitter has just launched a tool with which you can find out.
