Below is an account of some of the most notable findings.
Geoglyphs in Nazca
With the help of AI, a team of Japanese archaeologists found 303 previously unknown geoglyphs on the lines of the Nazca Desert in Peru.
Although these marks apparently look like dirt furrows, From the air you can glimpse figures that emanate the fauna and flora.

What the brain of a fly revealed
A group of scientists managed to map the complete brain of a fly. In this the position was identified, the shape of each of the 130,000 neuronsas well as 50 million connections.
This discovery was described as “a huge leap” due to the future implications it will have for the analysis of the human brain and its functioning.

Cure against cancer?
Throughout this year, various human clinical trials of personalized vaccines based on messenger RNA (mRNA) were carried out. This type of immune system is aimed at recognizing and destroying cancer cells with a view to eliminating the disease from the system.
In fact, the first tests, aimed at combating various types of cancer, have shown encouraging results.
So far the tests have been carried out with patients from the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, Spain and Sweden.
Vaccines.
Water on Mars
After studying data from NASA’s Insight lander, a team of researchers managed to discover that there is enough water on Mars to form oceans.
While the water is unlikely to be useful as a well in the near future, the find will help understand the water cycle on the red planet, At the same time, its surface and climate are better understood. The discovery could also point to another goal for the current search for evidence of life on Mars.

Increase in temperature
For the first time in history, global warming exceeded 1.5°C for an entire year. This was revealed by an investigation carried out by the climate service of the European Union, from which it was highlighted that this data is crucial, since exceeding this limit could imply much greater challenges to achieving the goals set out in the Paris Agreement.
“Look what happened this year with just 1.5°C: we’ve seen floods, we’ve seen droughts, we’ve seen heat waves and forest fires around the world, and we’re starting to see lower agricultural productivity and some problems with quality and quantity of waterexplained Bob Watson, former president of the United Nations climate agency, to the ‘BBC’.
