David Aguilar is a young man from Andorra who was born with Poland syndrome, a congenital anomaly that affected the development of his right arm, as well as his chest and part of his back muscles. Since childhood, LEGO pieces were never just toys for him, but rather tools with transformative potential.

At the age of five, David received his first LEGO set and became fascinated with the possibilities offered by those small pieces. What began as entertainment during childhood ended up accompanying him for years and becoming something much bigger than he initially imagined.

Using his experience with LEGO pieces over the years, David managed to build his own functional prosthesis for his right arm. The project demonstrated how creativity and persistence can overcome physical limitations, transforming a childhood passion into a practical and innovative solution.

David Aguilar's work attracted so much attention that he ended up earning a Guinness World Records recognition. His story inspires others by showing how obstacles can be transformed into opportunities through dedication and imagination.

Thermal anomaly discovered under Mars' south pole

Researchers discovered that Mars' interior presents a significant thermal anomaly, with the southern hemisphere being about 200 to 400 degrees Celsius warmer than the north, and is partially molten. Based on gravitational measurements that reveal clues about the internal structure of the Red Planet, this discovery led by Alexander Berne, a former Caltech student, adds context to Martian history and the periods when the planet may have had conditions favorable to life.
