Comprendiendo el infinito

progress and happiness - however these terms may be understood in detail - as a significant and constitutive element of scientific inquiry. In this sense the question of the way in which sport really benefits people and contributes to their happiness, and under which individual and social conditions, is a scientific question. It assumes special significance when the fact is taken into account that in the field of sport science a general scepticism is shown towards those dogmas and pedagogical theses which take such an interpretation for granted in the absence of a firm empirical foundation...

Behind the appearance of an innovative vaccine there is a history of determination and struggle, of breaking established models, and of overcoming the mistrust that generates a new theory. In this book we are going to learn about those stories, the stories of great scientists who fought to prove new theories and are now behind vaccines that save or will save millions of lives. We will experience with them the moment when they discovered that they had defeated a virus. We will travel inside the infectious agents to learn about their ability to gain ground in humans, the biological tools they...

The accessible style and language of this book mean that a greater understanding of the fundamentals of quantum mechanics is available to all readers, regardless of their familiarity with the topic. Explaining principles, theories, interpretations, and experiments with anecdotes, examples, and cross references, this book makes them more understandable, and more importantly, entertaining. Among the concepts discussed are black holes, Schrödinger’s cat, and the Higgs boson. El estilo y lenguaje accesible de este libro significan que una mayor comprensión de los fundamentos de la mecánica...

Desde 2012, miles de genomas humanos han sido secuenciados completamente, y muchos más se han mapeado en niveles más bajos de resolución. Los datos resultantes se utilizan en todo el mundo en ciencias biomédicas, antropología, medicina forense y otras ramas de la ciencia. Los resultados recientes sugieren que la mayoría de las vastas cantidades de ADN no codificante dentro del genoma tienen actividades bioquímicas asociadas, incluida la regulación de la expresión génica, la organización de la arquitectura del cromosoma y las señales que controlan la herencia epigenética.
