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

Una proteína que circula en la sangre de los pacientes con COVID-19 puede servir como una especie de “termómetro biológico” capaz de señalar la gravedad de la inflamación que provoca el nuevo coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). En Brasil, investigadores de la Universidad de São Paulo (USP) y de la Universidad Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar) descubrieron que el monitoreo de las tasas de la proteína sTREM-1 –a partir de la [...]

Researchers estimated biodiversity and biomass losses in the biome using data from 1,819 forest inventories. In terms of carbon storage, the losses correspond to the destruction of 70,000 km² of forest A Brazilian study published (http://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-20217-w) in Nature Communications shows that human activities have directly or indirectly caused biodiversity and biomass losses in over 80% of the remaining Atlantic Rainforest fragments. According to the authors, in [...]

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 [...]

The mechanism that keeps arterial blood pressure stable in black and white tegu lizards (Salvator merianae) even as their body temperature varies substantially is more efficient at lower than higher external temperatures, contrary to what has always been believed, and vascular regulation plays a key role in pressure adjustments, according to an article published in PLOS ONE by researchers at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) in the state of São [...]
