Elhuyar created three years ago the web Zientzia.net so that the dissemination of science and Basque would also have its hollow on the Internet. The web has had a great success: at this moment are about a thousand people who visit every day. All of them, and if you encourage yourself too, you will find changes from April 15.

The first change will be evident. You will find the web completely distorted. We have changed the design and reorganized the sections. With the new design we wanted to highlight aspects like the dossiers, the agenda or the online version of this magazine so that you have nothing to look for.

But the renewal has not been limited to reorganizing. From April 15, new sections will be offered. Specifically three. With the first we wanted to satiate the curiosity of lovers to look to the sky, putting on Internet astronomical anniversaries that until now are only published in the magazine. We have called the sky of the month and there, in a pleasant and simple way, together with the Society of Aranzadi Sciences, we will inform of the astronomical phenomena that deserve to be observed day by day and month.

We have also reminded those who prefer to fall asleep in front of a book instead of looking into the sky at night, and from April we are going to make known scientific books that deserve to be read. In the section of Divulgation Books a book will be recommended every month, but we do not want to do that work alone. Besides an opinion, we want to give two, three or four, and that is why we have created a corner in the section of informative books to make known your thing. If you want to recommend some favorite book, tell us.

Topics, complement of the search system

The third section is perhaps the most important of all, since it encompasses all others. The theme is called and there you will find all the contents of Zientzia.net classified by topics and subtopics. You can see how many there are of each and, if you want, navigate inside. That is, by clicking with the mouse on the theme “Health” you can see at a glance the articles, dossiers, photos, etc. related to this topic. And the same with all other topics.

Topics Topics Topics

We wanted to offer the section as a complement to the search system, but the search system will continue to work as it has so far. You can perform a simple search, requesting the word, or if you wish, perform a more detailed search in several restricted fields (subject, subtopic, author, format and year).

Dictionary of science and technology

In addition to offering contents of scientific dissemination, in Zientzia.net we have included a space dedicated to scientific language, and in the section of Scientific Dictionaries we have included a dictionary of science and technology complemented and renovated.

In this dictionary you will find the definitions of 14,500 concepts related to science and technology, as well as the corresponding compensations in English, Spanish and French.

These are the most outstanding news, but it will be better that we tell you to enter the web and check it yourself. So, besides seeing what has changed in Zientzia.net, you can win some prize. You just have to answer a few questions well, and if you're lucky, maybe you win the gift that the Association of Agriturismo and Gites of the Basque Country has made: a weekend in a rural house.
