The slowness of human thoughts defies all understanding. While our senses absorb around a billion pieces of information every second, our mental processes are limited to a modest speed: only 10 binary ...

Shells sometimes hold technological feats that we believed were limited to human laboratories. By studying the shells of a particular mollusk, researchers have discovered a unique capability to ...

South Korean researchers have created tiny magnetic robots capable of performing impressive tasks by collaborating, much like ants. These microrobots, thanks to their self-assembly capability and ...

It is a system that lives, reproduces, undergoes natural selection, and can die. A chemist from the Laboratory of Physics of Ionic and Molecular Interactions has proposed a model in which a molecule, ...

A strain of cholera resistant to multiple antibiotics has spread from Yemen and has reached Mayotte. This development may render current treatments obsolete. Since 2018, a particularly resistant ...

The heart races under stress, but why? A recent discovery links this cardiac reaction to a specific system in the brain. A surprising lead that could help us better understand physiological responses ...

An international team coordinated by French researchers has made a major discovery in the Aegean Sea: the precise identification of the underwater rupture that caused the largest modern tsunami in the ...

French researchers have developed a technology that enables solar panels to respond to wind autonomously. This breakthrough could revolutionize the efficiency of solar installations in the face of ...

"For the first time, we have successfully captured a close-up image of a dying star in a galaxy located beyond our Milky Way," explains Keiichi Ohnaka, an astrophysicist at Universidad Andrés Bello in ...

For just over a decade, physicists have been studying a strange phenomenon in the quantum world. At very small scales, it seems that the temporal order of different events may not always be ...
