Suplemento Nature Index 2018 Science Cities, da revista Nature, publica artigo do jornalista Herton Escobar em que aponta São Paulo como um “refúgio” da ciência e tecnologia no país, ante a redução pela metade do orçamento do Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia, Inovações e Comunicações, entre 2014 e 2018, e indaga: quanto tempo a cidade poderá aguentar? O texto entrevista Carlos Henrique de Brito Cruz, diretor-científico da FAPESP, e pesquisadores como Sergio Novaes, Paulo Artaxo e Helder Nakaya

São Paulo - An emerging power in research

Based on data for 344 volunteers, Brazilian researchers compared the physical and mental health benefits of workouts led in person by a fitness instructor, unsupervised online sessions, and classes supervised remotely via video call Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil investigated the effects of regular exercise on the physical and mental health of 344 volunteers during the pandemic. The study compared the effectiveness of three techniques: sessions led in person [...]

El pez Thalassophryne nattereri, un pez sapo venenoso, contiene un péptido (TnP) con potencial antiinflamatorio y antialérgico. Este potencial se ha puesto a prueba recientemente mediante experimentos en peces de la especie Danio rerio, popularmente conocidos como peces cebra y que comparten el 70 por ciento de su genoma con el ser humano. Por esta y otras razones, el pez cebra se usa mucho como modelo para los ensayos in vivo en el desarrollo de fármacos. Los autores del [...]

Gluten is a protein complex found in cereals such as wheat, rye and barley. It is responsible for the elastic texture of dough so that loaves and rolls can be baked into different shapes while remaining flexible and crusty. It also lengthens the shelf life of bread at room temperature, when associated with preservatives. Gluten intolerance, however, has become a global epidemic, and gluten-free products are increasingly popular. The problem is that most of those available on the market are far [...]

HOUSTON – (Nov. 13, 2019) – A lightweight material full of holes is nearly as hard as diamond. The mere dents left by speeding bullets prove it. Researchers at Rice University’s Brown School of Engineering and their colleagues are testing polymers based on tubulanes, theoretical structures of crosslinked carbon nanotubes predicted to have extraordinary strength. The Rice lab of materials scientist Pulickel Ajayan found tubulanes can be mimicked as scaled-up, 3D-printed [...]
