Experts at the Institute de la Grasa (CSIC) launched the project of excellence to analyze the evolution of subcutaneous fat during the healing of Iberian ham. The scientists, among whom are researchers at the University of Seville (U.S.), believe that this process is key to a quality end product, as there are chemical reactions that cause degradation of the fat fraction and the formation of compounds that are responsible for the characteristic aroma of cured ham, the most important quality parameter.
 Leon Manuel Camacho, coordinator of the work study of the evolution of the fraction of volatile compounds produced in subcutaneous fat of Iberian ham during the curing process, is aware that this project is a step in the characterization of hams.
“There have been studies to examine the major changes occurring in lipids during the curing process ham, although almost exclusively in intramuscular fat. However, little is known of the subcutaneous fat of Iberian ham, and its importance in the curing process of the pieces, “he says.

The galleries of the mines to close could provide geothermal energy by two engineers from the University of Oviedo. Their study was to estimate the amount of heat could provide a gallery.
Transforming galleries geothermal boilers is leveraging the natural heat generated by the galleries-heat from the interior of the Earth that would provide heating and hot water to the residents nearby.

 In August 2009, a new type of green asphalt produced by the company NCC was raised in Sweden on Highway 272 that passes through Arsunda (Sandviken area). This new asphalt named the NCC Asphalt Green saves energy (-20%), reduce emissions of nitrogen dioxide (- 70%) and carbon dioxide (-30%). The company NCC undertakes this work on behalf of the Swedish Road Administration (VV Vagverket), which expressed great interest in the invention.

What distinguishes it does in this picture?
Answer: an underwater observatory.
The OBSE – Observatorio Submarino expandable – is the first underwater laboratory Spanish. He has been immersed in July to 20 feet deep and three nautical miles from the Mediterranean coast, off of Vilanova i la Geltru, near Barcelona (for the record, the city of actor Sergi Lopez). The instrumentation installed is relatively modest: a camera remotely visible in its transparent bell, a measuring salinity, temperature and pressure (the vertical white tube) and a hydrophone (maroon vertical tube, is used to measure the noise).

• Many researchers believe that in the debris disks of some stars can be found gemstones.

The universe could be full of tiny diamonds (the thickness of a hair), located in the debris disks (consisting of gas and dust) that surround certain stars, as confirmed by several scientists who study at the Subaru telescope in Hawaii, in United States.
Although entirely insignificant compared to the total weight of the debris disk, the volume of these diamonds can be as big as a piece of the moon. However, few stars with diamonds in his release have been identified so far. Experts have revealed that conditions are necessary to find them “very special”.
The location of diamonds in space is done by searching for beamlines, which are visible throughout the infrared wavelength of the stars that own them.
