For science to make the news in a rigorous and attractive way, good sources are needed. Because access to scientific knowledge is a citizen's right.
We’re on the lookout for controversial information about science and we will contact you for your analysis in your area. Do you want to be part of our sources? Contact us. We will not pass your contact details on to anyone else. You can find out more about how we work here.
Science magazine has published a report revealing multiple indications of fraud in one of the most cited publications on Alzheimer's disease. We explain what it means for the science that studies this disease.
The Council of Ministers on Monday approved a package of urgent energy efficiency and energy saving measures, including limiting the thermostat on air conditioning and heating in transport, workplaces and shops.
A study published in PNAS sets out a worst-case scenario for current climate change, explains the likelihood of its occurrence and analyses the devastating consequences it would have. It also includes a research agenda to address it.
Apart from the disastrous impact of these temperatures on the marine ecosystem, we must ask ourselves whether this will mean an autumn of heavy rainfall and flooding.
Compared to Neanderthals and apes, modern humans experience fewer chromosomal inheritance errors when their brains develop, according to a new study published in Science Advances.
We are finding fires that exceed the maximum extinguishing capacity of the resources that are being asked to control them by 4 or 5 times, which is nonsense, as well as recklessness. We should ask ourselves about our territorial, social and economic model for dealing with this situation so that we do not leave the fire-fighting services with this intractable and unsolvable problem.
Glioblastoma is an aggressive type of cancer that arises in the brain or spinal cord. Researchers have identified a new drug that exploits DNA repair defects to selectively target tumours that are resistant to chemotherapy treatment with temozolomide. The research is published in Science.
The database with the predicted 3D structures of almost all catalogued proteins has just been published. The impact on biology is incalculable, from the development of a vaccine against malaria, to understanding Parkinson's disease, the health of honeybees or the fight against plastic pollution.
Research conducted on more than 25,800 healthy adults aged 50 and older in the United States concludes that taking vitamin D supplements does not reduce the risk of bone fractures. The study is published in The New England Journal of Medicine.
A study published in the journal Nature has found that ancient human populations consumed milk during adulthood long before we were able to digest lactose beyond infancy. The genetic variant that allows us to do so was not increased in frequency by milk consumption, but by famine and infection, according to their hypothesis.
