El eclipse conquista el corazón de España

A las ocho y media de la tarde, millones de personas miraron al mismo horizonte, asombrados ante un fenómeno astronómico irrepetible

El olvidado asombro de estar vivos

Siempre levanta ternura el hecho de que, cuando el ser humano no encuentra palabras para describir lo que está pasando, renuncie a buscarlas

Millones de españoles se maravillan con el eclipse de Sol: “¡Quiero otro!, ¿cuándo hay otro?”

Desde playas, huertas, miradores oficiales, campos de fútbol, castillos medievales y páramos, España ha celebrado el primer eclipse total en cruzar la Península en más de un siglo

Un párroco dando misa, dependientes en la Gran Vía y otros miles de trabajadores que se perdieron el eclipse: “Atendemos siempre a quien venga”

Aunque millones de personas en España se volcaron para presenciar el primer fenómeno de este tipo en más de un siglo en la Península, muchos se lo perdieron por sus obligaciones laborales

El eclipse hechiza a España

Millones de personas se vuelcan para contemplar el fenómeno histórico

Un minuto de lágrimas en Tarraco

El privilegio de Baleares

Un espectáculo que, en el sur de Mallorca y el norte de Menorca, pudo contemplarse prácticamente a la perfección y con algunas nubes en Eivissa que empañaron parcialmente la visión

València vive el eclipse entre el bullicio de su paseo marítimo y el encanto de L'Albufera

El fenómeno se vive sin incidencias en la capital, mientras Peñíscola registra un incendio junto al punto de visualización que calcina 34 coches, no deja heridos pero sí obliga a desmontar el hospital de campaña

El 911 está diseñado para funcionar cuando todo lo demás cae. Un malware acaba de poner esa promesa a prueba en California

Hay números de teléfono que no guardamos porque los sepamos de memoria, sino porque confiamos en que estarán ahí cuando todo lo demás falle. En España pensamos en el 112; en Estados Unidos, en el 911. Son la puerta de entrada a policía, bomberos o asistencia médica cuando no hay tiempo para buscar una alternativa, explicar dos veces lo que pasa o esperar a que una web vuelva a funcionar. Y esa confianza, que parece casi automática, depende cada vez más de sistemas conectados, centros de despacho, software y sistemas de enrutamiento que también pueden quedar bajo presión cuando aparece un…

Sabíamos que la Vía Láctea estaba doblada como un vinilo al calor: 30.000 nubes han mostrado que además está arrugada

Cuando pensamos en la Vía Láctea, casi siempre pensamos en una imagen vista desde la Tierra: una franja blanquecina suspendida en el cielo , una nube de luz que cruza la noche y que nos recuerda que el Sistema Solar no flota en mitad de la nada, sino dentro de una estructura inmensa. Esa imagen es cierta para nuestros ojos, pero incompleta para la astronomía. La Vía Láctea es una galaxia espiral barrada , con un disco de estrellas, gas y polvo que no podemos observar desde fuera porque vivimos dentro de él. Y ahí empieza lo interesante: cuanto mejor hemos aprendido a medirla, menos se parece…

The strongest experimental hint that gravity is quantum in nature

If you were to break down the matter in our Universe to its smallest and most fundamental subatomic constituents, you’d find that everything was made up of individual quanta, each of which possesses both wave and particle properties simultaneously. If you pass one of these quantum particles through a double-slit and don’t observe which slit it passes through, the quantum will behave as a wave, interfering with itself on its journey and leaving us with only a probabilistic set of outcomes to describe its ultimate trajectory. Only by observing it can we determine precisely where it is at any…

The next great game may not come from a million-dollar studio

The discovery could turn an abundant agricultural byproduct into a promising new material for regenerative medicine.

The adult brain can repair itself better than scientists thought

The adult brain may be far better at repairing itself than scientists once believed. In mice, researchers discovered a special group of support cells called astrocytes that respond to damaged brain tissue by rebuilding lost cellular networks. Rather than simply moving into the injured area, these cells perform a remarkable maneuver: they create new nuclei and send them traveling through long cellular extensions to repopulate damaged regions.

[Comment] Once-weekly oral antiretroviral therapy for HIV

For the past four decades, oral antiretroviral therapy for HIV has required daily doses. Long-acting injectable cabotegravir and rilpivirine has ended that obligation,1 requiring an injection every month or every 2 months. In The Lancet, Amy E Colson and colleagues2 report ISLEND-2, a randomised, open-label trial in which 626 virologically suppressed adults with HIV-1 either switched to a once-weekly, single oral tablet containing islatravir, a nucleoside reverse transcriptase translocation inhibitor, and lenacapavir, a capsid inhibitor, or continued daily standard-of-care therapy.

[Articles] Switch to once-weekly, single-tablet islatravir–lenacapavir from daily standard of care for HIV-1 (ISLEND-2): a multicentre, randomised, open-label, active-controlled, phase 3 non-inferiority trial

Once-weekly islatravir–lenacapavir showed non-inferior efficacy to the standard of care and was generally well tolerated. Longer-term safety data will provide further valuable insights beyond the week 48 data presented here. Islatravir–lenacapavir has potential to be the first once-weekly complete oral single-tablet regimen for HIV-1 treatment.
