The study focuses on GSN 069, a galaxy known for being the first source in which quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) were identified—brief, energetic bursts of X-rays associated with a supermassive black hole. The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) is participating in this work, which uses optical light polarization for the first time to reconstruct the […]
Dark Energy Survey scientists release new analysis of how the universe expands 2026-01-23The latest results combined weak lensing and galaxy clustering and incorporated four dark energy probes from a single experiment for the first time. Researchers from the Institut de Física d’Altes Energies played a key role in this analysis within the Dark Energy Survey, co-leading the weak-lensing, redshift calibration, and magnification studies.

Sesgos de género en la percepción de la masturbación
2026-01-22
La masturbación es una práctica común y natural, pero no siempre ha sido percibida del mismo modo. Más allá de su dimensión íntima, lo que pensamos sobre ella está profundamente marcado por las normas sociales y de género. No se juzga igual que se masturbe un hombre o que lo haga una mujer, y esas […]
Gender Bias in the Perception of Masturbation
2026-01-22
Masturbation is a common and natural practice, yet it has not always been perceived in the same way. Beyond its private nature, our thoughts regarding it are deeply influenced by social and gender norms. A man masturbating is not judged the same as a woman doing so, and these differences in perception reveal a great […]
Circulation Research: The body’s internal clock influences stroke severity and response to treatment 2026-01-22A study led by scientists at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Carlos III (CNIC) demonstrates that stroke severity depends on the time of day the event occurs. The research shows that neutrophils—the most abundant immune cells and first responders after stroke—are regulated by the body’s internal biological clock. This circadian regulation influences cerebral perfusion, tissue injury, […]

El director científico en funciones del CNIO, Fernando Peláez, ha sido galardonado con el XIII Premio Nacional de Biotecnología, «un reconocimiento a quienes convierten ciencia en impacto real —desde el laboratorio hasta el mercado— con rigor, ética y visión de país», señala la Sociedad Española de Biotecnología (SEBiot). El premio lo organiza la consultora en biotecnología […]
‘In Search of New Earths’, an exhibition by the IAA-CSIC about the ESA’s PLATO mission, arrives at the MUNCYT 2026-01-21The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) is promoting this exhibition project, which combines informational panels, scale models, three-dimensional models, and real engineering pieces to bring the objectives of the PLATO mission closer to the public. The exhibition begins its tour at the National Museum of Science and Technology of Madrid (MUNCYT) in Alcobendas, where […]
