Astrónomos de diversas partes del mundo están realizando un análisis inicial de los datos del primer año de estudio del Instrumento Espectroscópico de Energía Oscura, que lleva a cabo un sondeo de 5 años para crear el mapa en 3D más grande que se haya hecho sobre el Universo. Utilizando el espectro de las galaxias cercanas y de cuásares distantes, los astrónomos reportaron que lograron medir la historia de la expansión del Universo con la mayor precisión jamás alcanzada, proporcionando un panorama sin precedentes sobre la naturaleza de la energía oscura y su efecto en la estructura a gran escala del Universo.
A new study published April 4 in Cancer Cell was led by Yale Cancer Center researchers, who collaborated with investigators nationally to differentiate the molecular subgroups of RCC tumors to better understand how their makeup might affect treatment responses.
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument is conducting a five-year survey to create the largest 3D map of the Universe ever. Astronomers are now performing initial analysis of the survey’s first-year data. Using spectra of nearby galaxies and distant quasars, astronomers report that they have measured the expansion history of the Universe with the highest precision ever, providing an unprecedented look at the nature of dark energy and its effect on the Universe's large-scale structure.
A sleep apnea treatment known as hypoglossal nerve stimulation is less effective in people with higher body mass indexes (BMIs), according to a new study by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.

Study finds that lonely women experienced increased activation in regions of the brain associated with food cravings.
Driver uncertainty about access to electric vehicle charging during long trips remains a barrier to broader EV adoption, even as the U.S. strives to combat climate change by converting more drivers. Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory are working to make EV charging more resilient.
Las “estaciones de trabajo activas”, es decir, las que incorporan una plataforma para caminar, una bicicleta, una escaladora o un escritorio de pie, mejoran la cognición mental sin reducir el rendimiento laboral, según un estudio de Mayo Clinic.
Stars are born spinning rapidly, but slow down over billions of years. (Our 4.5-billion-year-old Sun spins about once per month.) After about one billion years, stars of the same mass and age will spin at the same rate. Therefore, if you know a star’s mass and rotation rate, you potentially can estimate its age. NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is poised to measure the spin rates, and calculate the ages, of hundreds of thousands of stars after it launches by May 2027.
