According to a study, the W boson does not obey the rules of the most accepted theory of quantum materials. While the findings are yet to be confirmed, they are already reactivating ‘the search to try to explain unknown phenomena’
The European Space Agency is trying to determine how to stop depending on Russia, a move that could ultimately reinforce its own relevance in the sector
Located 12.9 billion light years away, it disappeared after a massive explosion but scientists can still learn a lot about its composition
An experimental treatment created by researchers at Stanford University uses an engineered herpes virus to start production of the missing collagen VII protein, which stops the epidermis and dermis from separating
The experiment by a team of Chinese scientists shows that gene editing can allow mammals to reproduce without fertilization
The director of the Russian space agency has warned that sanctions could have an effect on the long-running mission
The case has been described as rare and the treatment unlikely to be applicable to most people living with the virus, as it is only ethical to perform this transplant on people with hematological cancers
A Swiss team used artificial intelligence software to send signals imitating the brain’s instructions to the lower limbs, letting people take steps independently
One of the most influential chemical engineers in history talked to EL PAÍS about his breakthrough developments in tissue engineering, nanotechnology and what the medicine of the future will look like
Doctors in Belgium explain how they saved a bomb attack victim who had been struggling with one of the most virulent bacterial pathogens in the world
Preliminary studies show that the lymphocytes’ response to the omicron strain remains strong among vaccinated people and patients who recovered
Noemí Pinilla-Alonso is leading two major programs using the biggest space telescope in history, the James Webb
Preliminary data suggests that the new coronavirus strain causes cold-like indications, fewer fevers and more fatigue, meaning it could be considered a milder form of the disease
The Israeli neurobiologist at the helm of the Weizmann Institute of Science has spent nearly 30 years studying the effects of stress on the brain in order to determine which individuals are at greater risk of disease
Spain is seeing an uptick in coronavirus contagions among the vaccinated. While this is to be expected, it is not likely to lead to more serious cases of the disease
Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz are studying 55 Cancri e, an exoplanet covered in an ocean of lava that is similar to Earth when it was first formed
The magma flow that shaped Spain’s Canaries archipelago 20 million years ago continues to add landmass, while Fuerteventura and Lanzarote are destined to sink under the effects of erosion
The main concern of the authorities now is that toxic clouds created by contact between the molten rock and the ocean could spread to the Canary Island
Researchers found no traces of the plague in the Basque and Sardinian fighters, but instead a type of bacteria from the salmonella genus that causes paratyphoid fever
Three recent discoveries have led scientists to re-evaluate the origins of ‘Homo sapiens’ and our evolutionary history
Researchers in the UK forced bacteria to produce proteins that do not exist in nature, protecting them from viral infection and opening up several possibilities for use in medicine and new materials
The object observed in 2019 is almost intact despite its long journey from another solar system and could be 4.5 billion years old
Spanish pediatricians have complied the most complete data about ‘multisystem inflammatory syndrome,’ which is a rare consequence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and causes critical inflammation
A new study published in ‘Science’ has found that plitidepsin is more effective at stopping the virus from spreading than remdesivir
Inverted cables caused the rocket carrying Spain’s SeoSat-Ingenio and France’s Taranis to deviate from its course, ruining a mission that cost 10 years of work and €200 million
The European Space Agency reported a deviation of trajectory eight minutes after liftoff
