Plugs are dead: a technology that revolutionises electrical sockets
A new generation of plugs promises to modernise electrical installations without the need to break walls or carry out building work. Traditional sockets are being challenged by an innovation: modular surface-mounted sockets, which can be installed without any building work or drilling. These modern devices are placed directly on the wall, ceiling or beams, with […]
A new 3D printing method promises metals that are 20 times stronger
Thanks to 3D printing on hydrogels, scientists have found a novel way to produce metals and ceramics that are much stronger than those previously manufactured. Why the first metal 3D printing in the ISS is revolutionising the future of space exploration. A revolution in the field. In Switzerland, researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of […]
The four habits of people over 80 who maintain exceptional memory and good health
A study by Northwestern University in the US called people with exceptional cognitive abilities for their age ‘super-elderly’. What are the details of this condition, according to two experts consulted by Infobae? Becoming super-elderly is probably partly due to genetic lottery, but there are many lifestyle factors that can be modified to be like them. […]
Lead exposure has existed for 2 million years
Long considered a modern form of pollution linked to human activity, lead exposure actually predates the Iron Age. A new study shows that hominid fossils, which include the human lineage and primates, have been exposed to lead for at least 2 million years. Lead is a heavy metal with no biological role. It accumulates in […]

Researchers discover that toxic exposure to a metal limited Neanderthal brain development
A study identified a genetic mutation unique to Homo sapiens that protected them from environmental pollution. This difference was key to the evolution of modern humans, according to researchers An international study suggests that a mutation unique to the NOVA1 gene allowed modern humans to develop advanced cognitive abilities despite environmental exposure to lead. International […]
