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.

Scientists unlock secrets of Sonoran plants thriving in extreme heat. Using pressure chambers, they measure water potential to understand how plants conserve moisture. This research could be key to mitigating climate change by predicting future ecosystem behavior in arid regions.
Science
Mexico's dams are drying up, rain is scarce, and scorching temperatures are the new normal. Scientists warn of a looming water crisis with severe consequences for agriculture, industry, and everyday life.
History
Chemistry's origins lie in ancient crafts like metallurgy and Egyptian arts. Alchemy emerged in Alexandria, blending practical knowledge with Greek philosophy. Alchemists sought to transmute metals and create elixirs, developing symbolic language and potent acids.
Science
Mexican researcher Jorge Prado Molina and his team are revolutionizing space technology with low-cost nanosatellites. Their innovations include testing simulators, center of mass tools, and in-orbit adjustment systems.
Science
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) reveals the chemical makeup of materials like rocks and dust. Researcher Rufino Lozano Santa Cruz uses XRF for diverse applications. These include studying volcanoes, analyzing metals, and even monitoring pollution changes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Biodiversity
El Niño disrupts the Gulf of California's delicate ecosystem. Scientists aboard the “El Puma” reveal warming waters, decreased nutrients, and the potential impacts on fisheries and climate patterns.
Science
The US returns to the Moon, driven by profit as much as science. NASA and private companies seek valuable minerals and a path to Mars. A lunar base could become a cosmic factory, a new frontier in the space race fueled by both competition and collaboration.
Science
Scientists spot a puzzling black hole in a young, distant galaxy. It's surprisingly small compared to its host galaxy, defying expectations of how galaxies and their central black holes grow.
Science
Experts warn of increasing catastrophic risks, from natural disasters to technological threats like AI gone rogue. We must study these risks and empower people with knowledge to prepare for and mitigate these planet-altering events.
Science
Physicists are using cosmic rays called muons to “x-ray” the Kukulcan pyramid at Chichén Itzá. They hope to uncover hidden chambers and deepen our understanding of Mayan cosmology. This project involves international collaboration and using muons to explore ancient structures.
Science
A Mexican research team discovers a novel way to improve drug delivery using synthetic clay called laponite. This innovation offers controlled release, low cost, and could even replace injections.
Science
Researchers in Mexico discovered that propolis from the Cuauhtémoc region in Chihuahua boasts high levels of beneficial compounds and strong antibacterial effects. This propolis rivals those used internationally, highlighting its potential for use in medicine and beauty products.
Science
Mexico's female scientists are rising stars of invention, tackling everyday problems with groundbreaking solutions. From food preservation to electronics, their work is reshaping industries.
Science
New research explores the effectiveness of biostimulants on crops. Studies show biostimulants can increase root growth, improve gene expression, and enhance resilience for sustainable agriculture.
