Science is a methodical process that systematically accumulates and organizes information about the universe in the form of falsifiable explanations and forecasts. Archeological evidence for scientific reasoning dates back thousands of years, suggesting that the scientific method may be as old as humanity itself.
Science
Mexican telescope and int. team find a 2nd Earth-sized planet orbiting ultracool dwarf star. Unlike TRAPPIST-1 system, this one is a solo act. The harsh environment likely makes it unlivable, but discovery hints at variety in these strange star systems.
Cuisine
Three types of fat and melted butter create the perfect chewy sugar cookie. Science explains the crackly tops and why some cookies are just crumbly disasters.
Science
Cows are major methane emitters, hurting the environment. But scientists are finding ways to reduce this impact. By tailoring cattle diets and even trying out additives like lemon tea, researchers are working on creating a more sustainable future for beef and dairy production.
Science
Scientists behind the 1st black hole image are building a global telescope network to film black holes. This "movie" will capture how these cosmic giants change, revealing secrets about gravity and the universe's behavior.
Science
Mexican researchers ditch boring drug testing with a biomimetic, sausage-loving artificial stomach! This "stomach in a bottle" mimics real stomach movement to test how meds dissolve, paving the way for a future of tastier (well, not really) and more accurate drug testing.
Science
AI reflects existing inequalities and replicates capitalist divisions of labor. Experts say AI can empower gig workers if they have access to their data to understand and fight exploitation by platforms like Uber.
Science
AI is no longer covert tech, it's a powerful tool interacting with us. Experts discuss how AI can benefit society but also raise concerns about bias and lack of regulation. Universities are considered key to ensuring ethical development and proposing frameworks to govern AI for the common good.
Science
Mexico held the 1st Space Generation Advisory Council meeting to discuss opportunities for young Mexicans in the space sector. Mexico aims to be a major player in space exploration and contribute to the Artemis Agreement.
Science
Mexican scientists meticulously track solar storms and their impact. May 10th storm caused auroras but no major damage. Collaboration and preparedness are key as the Sun reaches peak activity in 2024-2025.
Science
UN alarmed by plastic waste crisis, calls for action. UNAM's Earth Sciences School trains "Earth Healers" to tackle sustainability challenges and protect our planet from plastic pollution.
Science
Cloud seeding, a technique to coax rain from clouds, faces challenges in Mexico's arid north. While the science is promising, knowledge gaps and the temperament of clouds themselves make success elusive.
Science
Int'l team tackles galaxy formation simulations. They compared top simulation codes and found biases. This helps refine simulations and understand mysteries like early galaxies and missing satellites.
Wellbeing
In Western cultures, kissing is a common greeting that shows affection. Research suggests kissing has health benefits like stress relief and improved circulation. While kissing can be romantic, it shouldn't be oversexualized — a kiss on the cheek can be just as meaningful.
Business
AI excels at data analysis but shouldn't replace human decision-making. Developed by private companies, AI risks bias and job displacement. We should use AI as a tool, prioritizing ethics, transparency, and human control.
Science
Planet warming due to greenhouse gas emissions throws Earth's climate into disarray. Mexico sees rising temperatures and erratic rainfall. Scientists urge action as future holds worrying possibilities like less rain for Mexico City.
Science
Mexico's National University is launching its own space program with an eye on practical applications. Their CubeSat project aims to use satellites for fire prevention and urban planning.
