Online/Digital
To help us generate rigorous and quality content, at OpenMind we have the collaboration of almost 300 international firms that contribute in varying degrees to feeding a website of dynamic and current content, in Spanish and English. Access to all content is free and the files of our books and articles can be downloaded in various formats (.pdf, .epub, .mobi). Scientists, top-level authors, researchers and established disseminators participate in our community through their articles and essays (included in the book collection) and in the popularization and scientific culture section, with more journalistic style texts. With the aim of exploiting the information potential of all topics, at OpenMind we work to create increasingly multimedia formats such as infographics, audiobooks, questionnaires or interactive reports.

“Getting rid of fossil fuels is part of the solution, but it’s not enough.” At least, this is the claim of scientist Albert Alonso i Villar (Terrasa, Barcelona, 1993) based on his experience. He is dedicated to researching solutions related to the decarbonisation of transport. He elaborates on this statement: “We need to define a lifestyle that is compatible with the biophysical limits of our planet, it’s that simple.
En busca de las grandes claves del transporte sostenible
“Eliminar los combustibles fósiles es parte de la solución, pero no es suficiente”. Al menos esto afirma, desde su experiencia, el científico Albert Alonso i Villar (Terrasa, Barcelona, 1993). Se dedica a investigar soluciones relacionadas con la descarbonización del transporte. Y explica esa afirmación: “Necesitamos definir un estilo de vida que encaje con los límites biofísicos de nuestro planeta, es así de simple.
Coffee or Tea – Which Is More Sustainable?
The world is divided into coffee drinkers and tea drinkers, a distinction strongly influenced by the culture of each country, but also by personal preference. In terms of climate and environmental impact, it may seem that the impact of these beverages would be small compared to our overall food consumption, but their global reach means that their footprint is very significant in absolute terms. But which of the two is more sustainable, in which format, and with which method of preparation?
Café y té, ¿cuál es más sostenible?
El mundo se divide entre los bebedores de café y los de té, algo que viene bastante marcado por la cultura de cada país, pero donde también caben las preferencias personales. Si hablamos de impacto climático y ambiental, puede parecernos que el de estas bebidas debería ser menor comparado con el de nuestro consumo general de alimentos, y sin embargo su extensión global hace que en términos absolutos su huella sea muy considerable.
The Environmentalist Fighting Against Invasive Species
Dr Belinda Gallardo, chief scientist of the Ecological Restoration Research Group at the IPE-CSIC, has spent 12 years studying the perfect storm that is the combined effect of biological invasions and climate change. She is an advocate of ecological restoration, which seeks to restore ecosystems in a holistic way. And she has a positive message: prevention and early detection work. But action is needed. And now.
La ambientalista que lucha contra las especies invasoras
La doctora Belinda Gallardo, investigadora principal del Grupo de Investigación en Restauración Ecológica en el IPE-CSIC, lleva 12 años explorando la tormenta perfecta que es el efecto conjunto de las invasiones biológicas y el cambio climático. Apuesta por la restauración ecológica, que busca recuperar el ecosistema de forma integral. Y lanza un mensaje positivo: la prevención y detección temprana funcionan. Pero hay que actuar.
Una prueba de ADN para autentificar obras de arte
En un mundo cada vez más interconectado e informatizado, con ordenadores con mayor capacidad y potencia, y algoritmos de Inteligencia Artificial (IA) más avanzados, la protección de información sensible se ha convertido en un asunto crítico. En la actualidad, la herramienta de encriptación más importante y empleada son las funciones de una sola vía: en esencia, funciones matemáticas que son relativamente fáciles de realizar pero casi imposibles de revertir a partir del resultado final.
War Has an Environmental Cost Too 🪖 | OpenMind
When thousands of human beings are killed in a war, including civilians and many of them children, the environmental impact may seem the least of our concerns.
La guerra también tiene un coste ambiental
Cuando en una guerra mueren miles de seres humanos, incluyendo civiles y muchos de ellos niños, el impacto ambiental podrÃa parecer la última de las preocupaciones.
Scutoids, the Geometry of Cells
Biology textbooks depict the generic cell as more or less spherical in shape, although it has been known for more than a century that this image of a squishy ball is misleading: cells have a rigid but changeable internal skeleton, or cytoskeleton, which determines its shape, whether it is a neuron or a muscle fibre. The shape of cells is an important area of research because it is closely related to their function.
