Removing CO2 from the air is what could save the planet
By James Temple, via MIT Tech Review As much as we manage to reduce our carbon dioxide emissions (if we ever do), the greenhouse gas effect can persist for thousands of years. To prevent temperatures from reaching dangerous levels, the world will have to eliminate up to 1 trillion tons ...
The risk faced by avocado crops in Mexico could be faced with biotechnologies
The pioneering Mexican study in the sequencing of the complete genome of avocado (Persea americana variety drymifolia) was presented by doctors Luis Herrera Estrella and Alfredo Herrera Estrella, researchers from the Centro de Investigación de Estudios Avanzados (Cinvestav) Zacatenco unit of the National Polytechnic Institute ( IPN), whose results could change the cultivation process of this fruit. In the …
The first ultra vacuum tunneling microscope was proudly created at UNAM
UNAM, through the Institute of Physics, is home to the first ultra high vacuum and low temperature tunneling microscope (STM LT-UHV), designed entirely by university researchers. After seven years of work and the experience of researcher Carlos Javier Villagómez Ojeda, this year it was inaugurated. The device will allow ...
How does the way we travel impact the planet?
The choice of the mode of transport during the holidays can depend on several factors, among which are the travel distance, the specific characteristics of the trip, the safety and accessibility and the cost. Travelers choose between different means of transport based on these criteria and considering CO2 emissions a ...
Meet the Mexican company that doubled its production thanks to scientific research
One of the holy grails of the industrial sector is the effectiveness and efficiency at the time of production, since -simply- the more you produce (at a lower cost and without losing quality), the more you could sell, although you have to take into account the demands of the market. It turns out that in Coahuila there has been a curious case in ...
Did the space race die decades ago? No, but it was too expensive, here are five failures to prove it:
Although Elon Musk via SpaceX wants to excite us with the launch of satellites and rockets, the truth is that the space race has cooled down for several years due to a cost / benefit issue. Nor did it help that there were five failures (some not so well known) of aerospace experiments. We take from the MIT Tech Review, the 5 ...
