Obama reconoce el daño: “es hora de acabar con el embargo en Cuba”
[image: Obama reconoce el daño: “es hora de acabar con el embargo en Cuba”] El presidente de los Estados Unidos reconoce el problema que el embargo ha supuesto para Cuba y su economía. Han tenido que pasar 56 años desde que en 1960 Estados Unidos pusiera en marcha uno de los embargos más largos del mundo a consecuencia de la Revolución Cubana. 56 años en los que se han endurecido y flexibilizado las importaciones y exportaciones a la isla tanto como ha cambiado la políticas de los Estados Unidos respecto a Cuba. Política que, tras la visita ayer de Obama a la isla, va a cambiar de f... más »
Mixed-strain malaria infections influence drug resistance
Scientists have documented for the first time how competition among different malaria parasite strains in human hosts could influence the spread of drug resistance.
Researchers propose new way to improve beam quality in laser wakefield accelerators
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which helped scientists discover the Higgs boson, is a huge instrument buried under the Swiss-French border. It needs 27 kilometers of track to accelerate particles close to the speed of light before smashing them together. Yet there's another type of particle accelerator, called a laser wakefield accelerator, that requires only a fraction of the distance of conventional accelerators like the LHC.
Study shows levels of panda hearing
A study published in the journal Global Ecology and Conservation may help field conservationists better understand the potential for human activities to disturb endangered giant pandas in native habitats. Using pandas located at the San Diego Zoo, conservation scientists worked with animal care specialists to determine pandas' range of hearing sensitivity, discovering that they can detect sound into the ultrasonic range. Because giant pandas depend in large part on information transmitted through vocalizations for reproductive success, noise from human activities in or near forest ar... más »

Xbox Kinects could be used in the future to assess the health of patients with conditions such as cystic fibrosis.
Researchers invent tougher plastic with 50 percent renewable content
Your car's bumper is probably made of a moldable thermoplastic polymer called ABS, shorthand for its acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene components. Light, strong and tough, it is also the stuff of ventilation pipes, protective headgear, kitchen appliances, Lego bricks and many other consumer products. Useful as it is, one of its drawbacks is that it is made using chemicals derived from petroleum.
ORNL demonstrates low-cost carbon fiber process
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have demonstrated a production method they estimate will reduce the cost of carbon fiber as much as 50 percent and the energy used in its production by more than 60 percent.
Tougher plastic with 50 percent renewable content
Latest Science News -- ScienceDaily - Hace 1 día
Researchers have made a better thermoplastic by replacing styrene with lignin, a brittle, rigid polymer that, with cellulose, forms the woody cell walls of plants. In doing so, they have invented a solvent-free production process that interconnects equal parts of nanoscale lignin dispersed in a synthetic rubber matrix to produce a meltable, moldable, ductile material that's at least ten times tougher than ABS, a common thermoplastic.
Contact lenses alter eye bacteria, making it more skin-like
Latest Science News -- ScienceDaily - Hace 1 día
Contact lenses may alter the natural microbial community of the eyes, according to a study. In a study of 58 adults seeking outpatient eye care, researchers found that contact lenses make the eye microbiome more skin-like, with higher proportions of skin bacteria.
Migratory birds disperse seeds long distances
Latest Science News -- ScienceDaily - Hace 1 día
Some species of plants are capable of colonizing new habitats thanks to birds that transport their seeds in their plumage or digestive tract. Until recently it was known that birds could do this over short distances, but a new study shows that they are also capable of dispersing them over more than 300 kilometres. For researchers, this function could be key in the face of climate change, allowing the survival of many species.
For older adults with dementia, transitions in care can increase risk for serious problems
Latest Science News -- ScienceDaily - Hace 1 día
Having coordinated care and a long-term care plan in place that considers the needs of a person with dementia may reduce unnecessary transitions, say the authors of a new study.

Nadie sabe aún cómo se reproducen exactamente las anguilas
Hay peces difíciles de ver en su hábitat natural, y luego están las anguilas. Aristóteles creía que estos peces eran parientes de las lombrices de tierra. Incluso se ha llegado a pensar que estos animales simplemente aparecían de la nada. Aún hoy, y a pesar del ADN o los GPS, solo tenemos una imagen general teórica de cómo se reproduce este pez.
