No es que un centro de datos de Meta consuma mucha o poca agua. Es que está contaminándola

Peter Thiel ha firmado el alquiler de oficinas más caro de Miami. Quedarse en Silicon Valley le puede salir aún más caro

Tal y como recogía la norteamericana Fox Business , Peter Thiel acaba de poner su firma al contrato de las que serán sus oficinas en Miami pagando más que nadie antes en esa ciudad. "Que Peter Thiel firmara ese contrato de arrendamiento, marcando un hito de 250 dólares por pie cuadrado, es absolutamente…

Ask Ethan: What sets the size of the observable Universe?

When we look out across the Universe, we see objects at all different distances. The planets we see all exist only within our own Solar System: right in our cosmic backyard. The stars that we see exist primarily within our home galaxy, the Milky Way, and can be up to tens of thousands of light-years distant. Our nearest galaxies are under a million light-years away, but the farthest ones that have been identified are over 33 billion light-years away. And when we look at the oldest, most distant signal we can access, the light of the cosmic microwave background, we know it sits at a surface…

Chronic kidney disease affects millions of Americans, and more than 800,000 people in the United States are living with end-stage kidney disease.

New study provides first evidence of dopamine system injury in the brain of long COVID patients

A new brain imaging study led by researchers at the Center for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), published in eBioMedicine, provides the strongest evidence to date that long COVID is associated with injury to dopamine-releasing neurons in the brain—a finding that may explain symptoms such as lack of motivation due to fatigue, slowed movement and memory difficulties, and could open the door to new treatment strategies.

Do your dreams have smells? New study on 'blind minds' reveals vast differences in imagination

It's common to think we all have similar experiences of life. But the more we learn about other people's hidden thoughts, the more evidence there is that this is untrue. For instance, not everyone has the same ability to have imagined sensations. Most people can visualize—they can have imagined experiences of seeing people and scenes that aren't there. But not everyone can.

Novel microenvironment-targeted therapy for bone marrow recovery after injury

A healthy bone marrow (BM) produces nearly all types of cells in our blood. Many blood disorders occur when hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in the BM malfunction. Treatment with radiation or chemotherapy for many blood disorders and cancers can, as a side effect, deplete not only tumor cells but also hematopoietic cells, including HSCs in the BM—a condition known as myelosuppression. In severe cases, HSC transplantation (HSCT) is required to restore hematopoiesis.

Oxalate buildup triggers systemic inflammation and cardiac damage, study shows

People with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a significantly increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease. They also suffer from chronic inflammation, the causes of which are still only partly understood. Oxalic acid (oxalate) has so far been known primarily for its role in the formation of kidney stones. The molecule is a natural metabolic byproduct, is found in certain foods and is normally excreted by the kidneys in urine. However, when kidney function is impaired, oxalate accumulates in the body and can promote inflammatory processes.
