Scientists have identified for the first time a large number of genes reliably associated with dyslexiaa biological finding that will help to understand the processes that make some children have difficulty reading or eliminating. the researchers have identified 42 genetic variantsof which close to a third had previously been associated with the general cognitive ability and educational performance. key investigation The findings are part of the largest genetic study on dyslexia to date, the results of which were published Thursday in the journal Nature Genetics. The research has been led by the University of Edinburgh (Scotland) and has been carried…

Engineers from Stanford University (USA) have developed an ankle exoskeleton capable of adapting to each person, in such a way that they can walk faster and expend less energy. The prototype has been successfully tested in real conditions, on the street, and represents a new step towards future assisted walking devices that can be used by people with mobility problems. The exoskeletons that help move the legs, increasing gait speed and reducing the energy required, may be useful for people with mobility problems, among other applications. The benefits of these devices have been demonstrated, above all, within laboratories with treadmills,…

Marine areas help preserve marine flora and fauna, as well as sequester carbon and promote ecological and social adaptation to global warming Marine protected areas act as a safeguard for the oceans, seas and estuaries, since they help preserve plants and animals who live in them, but the benefits of these protected areas extend well beyond their limits, since help sequester carbon and encourage ecological and social adaptation to climate change. This is stated in a study published in the magazine 'One Earth', where the researchers say: "Marine protected areas are increasingly being promoted as a ocean based climate solution,…

The project will be led by 16 professionals of recognized prestige, including a famous astronautThe results of the analysis will be published in mid-2023 The US space agency NASA has launched the UN independent scientific team to study the unidentified aerial phenomena. That is, events that cannot be identified as aircraft or known natural phenomena and that, until now, we don't know what it is about. This is not the first time that a scientific study has raised this phenomenon, but it is one of the most most ambitious projects to date. As announced this Friday, the project will officially…
