The Rosetta mission European Space Agency (ESA) leads list of ten “Discoveries of Year “in 2014 that makes Science said Thursday that journal American.
Rosetta and Philae module , the first aircraft sent by humans landing on a comet , head palmares not only for his feat of reaching the comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko but for science to perform with data collected .
According to the deputy director of Science News, Robert Coontz, the findings of the year must “solve a problem with which people have been struggling for a long time or open the door to a wealth of new research. “
For Rosetta,” most of the good science really is coming “Coontz said in a statement.
paleontological discovery of the year was correct calculation of the age of some paintings of animals in a cave in Indonesia thought were made 10,000 years ago, but really had the 35,000 and 40,000 years , which points to humans in Asia produced symbolic art on par with Europeans.
The publication also acknowledged a series of items compared fossils of primitive birds and dinosaurs to modern birds and allowed to reveal the genetic evolution of different species of birds.
Also, appreciated an experiment that showed that GDF11 factor in the blood of young mouse can rejuvenate the muscles and brain older mice, and has led to a clinical trial in which patients receiving plasma Alzheimer young donors.
Among the Important studies are also a Research Harvard University was inspired by the behavior of termites to create a group of robots that coordinate with each other are able to create structures without human supervision.
The list also includes Other research , the use optogenetics -a technique that manipulates the neuronal activity with light rays -, allowed show that it is possible to manipulate specific memories in mice
area of neuroscience, highlighted the first “neuromorphic” chips that mimic the architecture of the human brain. and are designed to process information more similarly to how they do the living brains.
Two pioneering research that developed two different methods to grow cells that resemble beta cells – the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas – were also recognized for their worth to give researchers an opportunity “unprecedented” to study diabetes
On. technology area, excelled small satellites known as “Cubesats” while in genetics, highlighted a synthetic bacteria E .coli that could be used to create proteins designer “unnatural” amino acids.
