A researcher from Asturias, Carlos Magdalena, discovered a new species of giant water lily, called Victoria colombiana, in Colombia after identifying it in photos on Instagram, highlighting the importance of indigenous knowledge and technology in the conservation of threatened species. #DescubrimientoBotánico #VictoriaColombiana #ConservaciónDeEspecies (translated)

The planet is suffering; global warming exists, and the depletion of underground resources is already imminent. A discovery that, according to Kitagawa, will allow us to overcome extractive civilization and give way to separation civilization. #EsponjasMoleculares #SusumuKitagawa #EnergíaSostenible (translated)

The Japanese chemist Susumu Kitagawa, awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2025, presents his innovative discovery of molecular sponges that will allow the extraction of valuable resources from the air, making gas and oil unnecessary, and promoting a sustainable civilization. #EsponjasMoleculares #SusumuKitagawa #EnergíaSostenible (translated)

A team of archaeologists has discovered a bronze seal ring in the submerged port of Alexandria that represents the city's lighthouse, marking the first time this image has been found on a piece of this type, with iconography similar to coins from the 2nd century BC. #FaroDeAlejandría #DescubrimientoArqueológico #Alejandría (translated)

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Henri B. Kagan and Kenso Soai for their discoveries onhomochirality, a phenomenon that explains why life prefers a specific form of certain molecules, which is crucial for drug development. #Homoquiralidad #NobelDeQuímica #InvestigaciónCientífica (translated)

Henri Kagan and Kenso Soai have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2026 for their fundamental discoveries in asymmetric autocatalysis that provide answers to how homochirality can spontaneously arise, a chemical enigma of over a century. #PremioNobel #Química #Homoquiralidad (translated)

Carlos Santana claimed that the recent advances by OpenAI in mathematics had provoked reactions of astonishment, enthusiasm, and bitterness among members of the mathematics community. He wrote that the company had published 372 high-caliber results and that the average work time per result was equivalent to three hours of ChatGPT Pro Thinking. Santana stated that artificial intelligence had become a driving force in cutting-edge mathematical research and attributed part of the initial doubts to the difficulty of accepting this change. He compared the use of resources to the case of Navier-Stokes, for which, he indicated, OpenAI had deployed 10,000 concurrent agents. He also cited researcher Noam Brown, who, according to Santana, had said that the result was not so much due to the multi-agent system but to the mathematical capability of the model. The author said he understood the professional and emotional impact these advances could have on mathematicians, but he considered that it was not possible to reverse them. He added that publishing the results openly was the best scenario, although he noted that it was unclear whether OpenAI had reserved key findings for its own research or whether other organizations would share their advances. Santana maintained that the results could translate into improvements for science and engineering. He also wrote that OpenAI had evaluated 4,000 problems and that, according to their figures, 376 had been solved—about 10%—and anticipated that within a year, few or none could remain unsolved. He concluded by encouraging those who valued the role of science and technology to closely follow the changes and sent words of support to those who received them with confusion. #InteligenciaArtificial #Matemáticas #Innovación (translated)

Francis Halzen has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2026 for his decisive contributions to the discovery of neutrinos through the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, using the ice of the South Pole to capture these high-energy particles. #FrancisHalzen #Neutrinos #PremioNobel (translated)

The 2026 Nobel Prize in Medicine has been awarded to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann, and Georg Nagel for their discoveries on light-activated ion channels and optogenetics, a technique that allows the control of nerve signals using light and has contributed to the understanding of the brain and the development of new medical therapies. #Optogenética #PremioNobel #Ciencia (translated)

Spanish biologist Mario Rodríguez Mestre suspects that Anthropic's artificial intelligence has used his ideas and data previously shared to make a discovery he made in 2022, which has led to a call within the scientific community to reconsider the use of proprietary AI tools. (translated)

Carlos llegó a Ultramarinos Demar sin saber muy bien qué le esperaba… y Lucho Martínez se encargó del resto. 👀🌊 Una tarde para descubrir, probar y disfrutar de una propuesta gastronómica que se vive plato a plato. Gracias, Lucho y Ultramarinos Demar, por recibirnos y compartir esta experiencia con nosotros. 💙💛 #Gastronomía #ExperienciaCulinaria #Descubrimiento

Expertos cuestionan el anuncio de Anthropic sobre el descubrimiento autónomo por parte de su IA, Claude, de un sistema enzimático similar a CRISPR, señalando la falta de evidencia y la necesidad de más información sobre el proceso de investigación. #InteligenciaArtificial #Genética #CRISPR
