Alguien construyó un ordenador con 460 válvulas de vacío de los años 50 y 60. Tarda 15 minutos en calentarse, pero funciona

Estamos tan acostumbrados a que un ordenador quepa en una mochila, en un bolsillo o incluso en un reloj que hablar de máquinas construidas con válvulas parece casi hablar de la prehistoria de la informática. Y, aunque han pasado décadas, aquella tecnología no está tan lejos como podría parecer: las válvulas dominaron buena parte de los primeros ordenadores electrónicos de los años 40 y 50 , antes de que los transistores acabaran desplazándolas. Lo sorprendente es que, más de medio siglo después, todavía haya quien decida volver a ellas y construir un ordenador desde cero. Ahí es donde aparece…

Starship irá por fin a por la órbita. Una parte clave del vuelo estará escondida entre sus satélites

Starship lleva años acostumbrándonos a imágenes difíciles de ignorar: un vehículo gigantesco despegando, etapas separándose en vuelo y pruebas que unas veces han terminado con avances claros y otras con pérdidas inesperadas . Lo hemos visto progresar misión tras misión, con SpaceX modificando el sistema después de cada intento . Sin embargo, esa sucesión de vuelos todavía no ha cerrado algunas de las pruebas más importantes de su desarrollo. La próxima ya está programada y apunta directamente a uno de esos objetivos que el programa lleva tiempo persiguiendo. La fecha marcada es el 22 de…

Andrew Ng calls the AI extinction warnings science fiction

Andrew Ng, who helped start Google Brain and Coursera, told Bloomberg TV that warnings of human extinction from AI are much more science fiction than science, and that the industry stokes them for publicity and to shape regulation. The EU AI Act already lists both the engineering risks he wants prioritised and the loss-of-control risks […] This story continues at The Next Web

This popular fermented food may help flush nanoplastics from the body

A kimchi-derived bacterium can bind to nanoplastics under gut-like conditions and may help carry them out of the body. In mice, the probiotic more than doubled the amount of nanoplastics detected in feces, pointing to a surprising potential use for microbes from fermented foods.

Textbooks may have misdrawn this basic brain structure for 100 years

Scientists discovered that brain-cell axons may not be smooth tubes as textbooks have shown for more than a century, but instead naturally resemble strings of tiny pearls. Those pearl-like structures can change with neural activity and may help control how quickly electrical signals travel through the brain.

In adolescents with HIV with virological suppression, LAI cabotegravir–rilpivirine was superior to TLD for maintaining virological suppression, with no new safety concerns observed. These findings support LAI cabotegravir–rilpivirine as a maintenance treatment option for this population.

Levetiracetam therapeutically targets GABAergic synapses in diffuse midline glioma

Nature Medicine, Published online: 17 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41591-026-04646-6 Results of this study show in experimental models and data from patient cohorts that the antiseizure medication levetiracetam is associated with longer survival and reduced tumor growth in diffuse midline glioma, but not hemispheric high-grade glioma, by selectively dampening GABAergic synaptic signaling, independently of its canonical SV2A-mediated primary antiseizure mechanism.

Kidney Organoids Reveal Inflammatory Drivers of Diabetic Kidney Disease

In kidney organoids, elevated glucose triggered tissue-intrinsic inflammation and epithelial cell detachment without overt cytotoxicity. Inhibiting MIF, TNF-alpha, or MAPK-related signaling helped protect the organoids, suggesting inflammatory pathways may be targetable in diabetic kidney disease.
