Finding other planets like ours that might harbor life has always been a great dream of humankind, and now researchers are closer than ever to achieving it using a highly refined astronomical spectroscope.

Dr. Maria Altamirano and her team study algae of the Asparagopsis genus, a dangerous invasive species, bringing to light the keys to slow its expansion.

Pollution and the destruction of the environment are two main concerns in our times. Wood mice fulfill all the conditions that make them excellent bioindicators. The mice try to survive in the unfavorable environment by increasing the expression of protective proteins that, for example, are able to reduce the toxic effects and even prevent and repair oxidative damage. At the same time, they reduce the expression of harmful proteins that facilitate...

Chemistry and light come together to create a hopeful horizon. Environmental friendliness and energy savings are the main bastions of photocatalysis.

A completely clean and non-polluting power supply is possible, and this documentary shows how a team of researchers has managed to develop it and make it ready to be installed in homes and cars.

In the south of Spain, a research team uses thermogravimetry to evaluate contamination in sediments that promotes the improvement of environmental quality and the preservation of biodiversity.

Cetaceans are mammals that are incredibly well adapted to the marine environment, and among them the beaked whales are the least known. The numerous mass beachings of beaked whales around the world, related to military maneuvers, were the origin of this study. Employing underwater microphones and depth and movement sensors, the team has been able to describe their submersion curves and behavior. The results they have obtained are fascinating. This...
