Until now, if we archive a chat and after a while it receives a message from one of the participating users again, the app automatically moves the chat to the main list of chats ,…
The great earthquake that was coming in the universe of digital marketing and advertising was the death of cookies. Google announced a few years ago that Chrome would start blocking them by default. The company itself has been working to create its own alternative to cookies for advertising targeting. For the other players, Google gave a margin of adaptation time. The change would not begin to apply until 2022, leaving years for adjustments. 2020 and 2021 were to be the time frame to work on the change. Those years have coincided with the coronavirus pandemic, something that weighed down on…

They are already a solvent organized industry, as several investigations have been showing and as confirmed by the movements that some large…
A group of researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), in Germany, has developed a new technique that will allow the most extreme processes that take place in the universe to be replicated on a small scale in a laboratory. For example, it will be possible to study in detail the strong areas of gravitational attraction related to black holes or the strong magnetic fields of neutron stars. Even the discovered process manages to create a jet of antimatter and is accelerated very efficiently. Two high-intensity laser beams are integrated, producing a collision so violent that it generates an extremely large…
Spanish researchers from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) and the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) have made an important advance in understanding the characteristics of the Sombrero galaxy, by observing in detail a gigantic current of stars that compose it.

The air conditioning in the car is not only a question of comfort, in the summer season it is also about road safety and condition of the car. Thus, the DGT magazine reveals that at a…
In a rare exercise of transparency, Google has announced a new functionality that will explain the motives behind each search result, including the terms used and their relevance. How Google works seems magical . We write one or more terms, and a personalized list of links appears, adapted to our situation and location, and it is very likely that on the first page we will find what we were looking for. It is thanks to this precision that Google has become the default Internet search engine. But that “magic” is not cheap, it draws on data from all over the…
