On April 29, the UAL and Kimitec have developed a project under the name of ‘Cátedra Kimitec-Farm to fork’ in which research, dissemination and research training activities will be launched under the concept ‘Farm to fork’ (from farm to fork). The purpose is to promote an agri-food production system that ensures food protection and, at […]

Particle physics milestone achieved at CERN
After 50 years of research, physicists have found evidence that the elusive subatomic quasiparticle called odderon actually exists. For most of us, physics terms such as odderon are – and will always remain – firmly lodged in the science fiction realm. Not so for the scientific community, whose determined members spent nearly half a century […]

Artificial intelligence in EU enterprises
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an area of strategic importance and a key driver of economic development. It can provide solutions to many challenges, such as treating diseases or minimising the environmental impact of farming. Artificial intelligence gives machines and systems the capability to analyse their environment and make decisions with some degree of autonomy to […]

Can life from Earth survive on a planet like Mars?
Some microbes on Earth could temporarily survive on the surface of Mars, new study finds. As the Perseverance rover hunts for evidence of past life on Mars’ barren surface, researchers back on Earth are exploring just how difficult it might be for living organisms to survive there today. Findings published in the journal ‘Frontiers in […]

Particle physics milestone achieved at CERN
After 50 years of research, physicists have found evidence that the elusive subatomic quasiparticle called odderon actually exists. For most of us, physics terms like odderon are (and always will be) part of science fiction. However, this is not the view of the scientific community, whose determined members spent almost half a century searching (without […]

European Researchers’ Night will return on September 24
The UAL will be part of this project for another year as it has received more than 154,000 euros for scientific dissemination. Every last Friday of September is celebrated the European Researchers’ Night, and this September 24 will return to bring citizens closer to science. The project will involve the participation of thirteen Andalusian scientific […]

Scientists solve mysteries of the world’s oldest computer
Another piece of the ancient computer’s puzzle has been solved. The 2 000-year-old Antikythera Mechanism, the first analogue computer, was a bronze hand-powered device from ancient Greece filled with complex gears. It was used to predict the positions of the planets and events like lunar and solar eclipses. The machine was even used to set […]
