The Spanish operator thus provided internet to passengers on flights over the Atlantic The Spanish operator Hispasat launched the Amazon Nexus, its most advanced satellite, into space on Monday, which will bring the Internet to passenger flights across the Atlantic and to the remotest regions of Greenland. The launch, which had to be postponed one day due to complicated weather conditions, was carried out aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from the American company SpaceX, from its facilities in Cape Canaveral (Florida). The Nexus will occupy a fixed position over Brazil, giving it a wide coverage area that will include the…

as he pancreatic cancer such as lung they are related to a gene mutation known as Kras. As revealed by the research team led by García Alonso, with 'just' removing a protein located just below this gene, it is possible to both reduce the size of the tumor and eliminate it (with the help, of course, of other drugs). "The study of this protein has provided us with a 'therapeutic target'. Now our goal is to develop specific drugs parachute break down this protein and thus 'attack' the tumor cells", explains the researcher. But how is it achieved? García Alonso's…

"I took one look at this data and said, 'Let's drop everything else!'" said Shardha Jogee, a professor of astronomy at the University of Texas at Austin. New images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal for the first time galaxies with stellar bars (elongated features of stars extending from the centers of galaxies toward their outer disks) at a time when the universe was only 25% full. his present age. The finding of the so-called barred galaxies, similar to our Milky Way, so early in the universe that astrophysicists are refining their theories of galaxy evolution. Before the…

The infection can be transmitted between animals and humans and is caused by ingestion of aquatic plants or water contaminated with their larvae. The "Fasciola hepatica" parasite causes a zoonotic disease that affects animals and humans worldwide. In a study, Spanish researchers have identified a series of proteins involved in biological processes relevant to its development. Two studies published by PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases could help the identification of new targets for control and treatment of this disease, which is "a prominent global health and economic problem," he pointed out at the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC). The fasciolosisa…
