Observatorio Gemini y Subaru unen fuerzas para descubrir la primera pareja de cuásares en el principio del Universo
NSF's NOIRLab

Un equipo de astrónomos descubrió una pareja de cuásares en fusión que bate todos los récords, ya que no sólo se trata de la más distante detectada hasta ahora, sino también del único par de este tipo que se encuentra en una de las épocas más tempranas del Universo. El hallazgo fue posible con la ayuda del poderoso instrumento GNIRS que se encuentra instalado en el telescopio de Gemini Norte, la mitad boreal del Observatorio Internacional Gemini, financiado en parte por la Fundación Nacional de Ciencias de Estados Unidos y operado por NOIRLab de NSF.

An acoustic transmitter – or tag – emits unique signals or “pings” when scientists want to study the long-distance movement of marine animals. However, this method has limitations. Using a pioneering movement model, researchers reconstructed animal tracks and leveraged an iterative process to measure the accuracy and precision of these reconstructions from acoustic telemetry data.

Empa, Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology

Little is yet known about the health effects of nanoparticles on pregnancy. An interdisciplinary team led by Empa researchers is currently analyzing the risks for babies in the womb. Using a lab model, the researchers were able to determine that certain nanoparticles impair the release of chemical messengers in the placenta and thus the formation of blood vessels. They published their findings in the journal Advanced Science.

Researchers at the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center and the IU School of Medicine have discovered that Black patients with breast cancer who are treated with a chemotherapy called docetaxel experience less of a harmful side effect called peripheral neuropathy. Their findings represent an important shift in knowledge about a patient population who've historically been underrepresented in breast cancer research.
