Isotope probing shows soil is packed with dormant viruses lying in wait

A single gram of soil contains between 10 million and 1 billion viruses. Most of those viruses do not infect plants, animals or people, but they do target bacteria and other microbes. Because of their influence on microbial communities, viruses can affect nutrient cycling and soi

O futuro da conectividade na América Latina começa pela infraestrutura invisível

*Por Miguel Santa Ana Durante muitos anos, o debate sobre telecomunicações girou em torno da velocidade. Mas a transformação digital da América Latina mudou essa lógica. Hoje, o desafio já não é apenas conectar pessoas, mas sustentar economias digitais cada vez mais dependentes de dados, computação em nuvem, inteligência artificial e conectividade permanente. Aplicações de IA, platafor
