United States – The team of Dr. Ayala of the University of California suggests that Paludism, or malaria, was initially transmitted to humans by chimpanzees.
Malaria is generated by a parasite transmitted by the bite of the female Anopheles mosquito. Every year 300 to 500 million people are infected  by malaria. Of them, one out of three die. The origin of malaria were unknown until now. Yet researchers had made the parallel link between the parasite Plasmodium falciparum, which causes malaria and a parasite affecting chimpanzees.
The first assumption raised is that …

Unexplained phenomenon found on Venus. Last week, the astronomers observed a strange bright spot on the planet, but until now scientists have no assumptions about what would have triggered its occurrence. The most common theory suggests that either on Venus awoke the first of the known volcanoes or a typical atmospheric turbulence phenomenon in the atmosphere of the planet, probably related to solar activity.
For the first time the existence of the phenomenon was discovered by the New York amateur astronomer Frank Melilla. He noted that the data on Venus in …

Scientists for the first time in history has succeeded in preventing the development of epilepsy, development of which was laid at the gene level. However, such success has been achieved only in laboratory with the mice, but doctors hope to carry out similar experiments in humans suffering from epilepsy.
According to the authors of the new methodology of the British University of Leeds,in many of the case the genetic background of epilepsy lies in the key gene ATP1a3, which controls the levels of sodium and potassium in cells of the brain. …

The rapid expansion of the Inca Empire from 1100, and ending in 1532 with the arrival of the Spaniards, was largely aided by rapid growth in agricultural production. This is confirmed by archaeologists and geographers, who analysed the seeds and pollen. Member of this team, Alain Gioda, climate historian, speaks about these discoveries, their meanings and morals. For example, Peruvians of today would be well advised to focus on farming practices of their ancestors, apparently of effective sustainable development.
The poet William Blake wrote that the world could find themselves trapped …

The American and Australian engineers have developed contact lenses that would avoid putting drops in the eyes and would restore vision.
The engineers of the Eyenovations company have developed a lens capable of disseminating therapeutic drops at regular intervals for a month. The lens will facilitate in particular the treatment of glaucoma and other eye diseases. It could also be used for administration of antibiotics after surgery.
In Australia, the new contact lenses carry original cells in order to restore the vision of the patients. The transfer technique using stem cells to …
