Investigadores del Centro de Desarrollo de Materiales Funcionales (CDMF), un Centro de Investigación, Innovación y Difusión (CEPID) que cuenta con el apoyo de la Fundación de Apoyo a la Investigación Científica del Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) y que tiene su sede en la Universidad Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar), en el estado de São Paulo, Brasil, desarrollaron una biopelícula que permite revestir los huevos y prolongar su [...]

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 study was conducted in Brazil and mapped the genes that are activated when mice resistant to Leishmania are infected. Molecules involved in the signaling pathway responsible for combating the parasite can serve as biomarkers. In an article published in Scientific Reports, researchers affiliated with the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil describe experiments performed with mice that show how genetic factors can determine whether an individual is susceptible or resistant to [...]

A new study by researchers at Campinas State University (Unicamp) and published in Scientific Reports concluded that the Zika virus may inhibit prostate cancer cell proliferation. The information is from the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo. The research supported by Fapesp conducted experiments with a viral strain obtained from samples isolated from an infected patient in Ceará. After cultivation in the laboratory, the virus was heated at 56 ° C for one hour to inhibit its potential [...]

The hypothesis that the solar system originated from a gigantic cloud of gas and dust was first floated in the second half of the 18th century by German philosopher Immanuel Kant and further developed by French mathematician Pierre-Simon de Laplace. It is now a consensus among astronomers. Thanks to the enormous amount of observational data, theoretical input and computational resources now available, it has been continually refined, but this is not a linear process. Nor is it without [...]
