Long-term exposure to products with DDT (a compound whose use was already banned by the World Health Organization 45 years ago) during pregnancy causes the daughters of these women to be four times more likely to develop breast cancer than those who have not. been exposed to this compound.

A team of researchers from the University of Michigan (USA) has developed a material that could become the perfect camouflage of the future as it changes color and shape depending on the light.

Alan Mathison Turing (1912-1954) was one of the greatest computer geniuses in history, which is why he is known as the “father of computing”. This mathematician, philosopher and scientist, whose contributions in the field of cryptography prevented thousands of deaths in World War II, shortening it by several years thanks to his decoding of Nazi secrets, has a lesser-known but no less important aspect: that of the field of biology and chemistry.
