The digital sector represents 4.4% of France’s carbon footprint: this is the figure revealed in the latest opinion from the Agency for Ecological Transition (ADEME), published on January 9. It thus revises upwards the 2018 estimate of 2.5%, which did not take into account data centers located outside the country and which fuel the digital uses of […] … learn more→

We live in a golden age for space exploration. Scientists are gathering massive amounts of new information and scientific evidence at a record pace. Yet the age-old question remains unanswered: are we alone? New telescope technologies, including space-based tools such as the James Webb Telescope, have enabled us to discover thousands of potentially habitable exoplanets that […] … learn more→

Mark Zuckerberg’s recent decision to remove factcheckers from Meta’s platforms – including Facebook, Instagram and Threads – has sparked heated debate. Critics argue it may undermine efforts to combat misinformation and maintain credibility on social media platforms. Yet, while much attention is directed at this move, a far more profound challenge looms. The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) that processes […] … learn more→

In recent years, the field of quantum computing has been experiencing fast growth, with technological advances and large-scale investments regularly making the news. The United Nations has designated 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. The stakes are high – having quantum computers would mean access to tremendous data processing power compared to what we have today. […] … learn more→

In the grand scheme of things, 45 years is not a long time. Back in 1980, it would take me three weeks to run a computer program, written in the programming language Cobol, that worked using punched cards. Each card represented one line of code and it required multiple re-punches to correct errors. Eventually, I would […] … learn more→

The comet of the century arrived from beyond the sky in 2024, and it did so ahead of time. If Tsuchinshan-ATLAS had approached Earth at the dawn of Christmas, it would have been difficult to deny it a disturbingly random chance encounter. Tsuchinhan-ATLAS was three months early. Josep M. Trigo, principal investigator of the Meteorites, Minor […] … learn more→

What if video games could help scientists research genes and diseases? The video game industry has continued to grow over the past decade. Although many consider them simple entertainment, citizen science has taken it a step further. They can dive into genomics, for example, the discipline that has revolutionized medicine since the early 2000s, when the human genome was sequenced […] … learn more→

When we contemplate the beauty of the night sky, we are not aware that these bright stars are not actually in those positions. Due to a physical phenomenon related to the propagation of light, what we observe are virtual positions, displaced with respect to their real locations in the universe. Knowing the precise location of celestial objects […] … learn more→

In the summer, most teachers take advantage of the opportunity to rest from the hustle and bustle of the academic year. However, many others spend part of their holidays refreshing their knowledge and adapting to new ways of teaching. But when it comes to innovation, not everything goes.
