A study describes liquid water diffusion at molecular level

An article published in Physical Review and conducted by researchers at the universities of Granada and Barcelona might lead to a revolutionary change in water desalination and filtration methods. Liquid water exhibits a range of unusual properties that other chemical compounds do not have: up to 65 abnormalities. Nanochannels are extremely tiny ducts 1-100 nm… Seguir Leyendo A study describes liquid water diffusion at molecular level

Daytime-running lights in cars affect pedestrians’ reaction to turn signals

Researchers at the University of Granada have proved that keeping lights on all day –as most of European authorities recommend- introduce ambiguity into the turn signal system. Daytime-running lights (DRL) will become mandatory to all vehicles –they were optional up to now- manufactured in Europe from 2011 Driving with the car lights on in day… Seguir Leyendo Daytime-running lights in cars affect pedestrians’ reaction to turn signals

Scientists determine for the first time the chemical composition of a type of red giant star with more carbon than oxygen in its atmosphere

What are the peculiar type-R stars made? Where does the carbon present in their shell come from? These are the questions to be solved by a research work conducted by scientists of the department of Theoretical and Cosmos Physics of the University of Granada (Spain), where they have analysed the chemical composition and the evolutionary… Seguir Leyendo Scientists determine for the first time the chemical composition of a type of red giant star with more carbon than oxygen in its atmosphere

Spanish researchers develop a new mathematical model to predict slight sports injuries from equations

Spanish researchers have developed a new mathematical model that permits to predict sport injuries from a series of equations. Their work has proved that sport injuries that affect the lower limbs in high-impact sport, such as football, athletics or basketball, can be predicted through the use of equations of logistic regression. This paper has been… Seguir Leyendo Spanish researchers develop a new mathematical model to predict slight sports injuries from equations

Talking aloud helps to solve mathematical problems more quickly, according to a study

Those students who think aloud while solving a mathematical problem can solve it faster and have more possibilities of finding the right solution that those who do not do it. Likewise, drawing or making a pictorial representation relating to the also contributed to its solution. Those are the conclusions of a study carried out at… Seguir Leyendo Talking aloud helps to solve mathematical problems more quickly, according to a study
