The Earth's crust may contain a source of clean natural hydrogen capable of meeting humanity's energy needs for tens or even hundreds of thousands of years. An international team of scientists has ...

Precious metal complexes play a crucial role in the development of medical treatments, particularly in oncology. However, their mode of action and behavior in biological environments remain poorly ...

Scientists have identified sequences in great apes' DNA capable of forming unconventional structures called non-B DNA. These configurations appear to play a key role in regulating cellular processes ...

The Tyrannosaurus rex, one of the most iconic predators in Earth's history, hides distant origins spanning Asia and North America. A recent study traces the journey of its ancestors across ancient ...

Jeremy Darling from the University of Colorado Boulder proposes an original approach to measure the gravitational wave background. These cosmic vibrations, particularly resulting from collisions of ...

The quest for dark matter has mobilized scientists for decades. Two hypothetical particles, axions and dark photons (see chapter at the end of the article), could be its constituents. Diagram of the ...

The Terrell-Penrose effect, predicted in 1959, suggests that objects moving at speeds close to that of light appear rotated. This optical illusion results from the combination of relativistic length ...

The earliest galaxies may have scrambled our reading of the Universe. A new study challenges the traditional interpretation of the cosmic microwave background, this fossil light from the Big Bang.

Protons play a central role in energy production within cells. A team of researchers has discovered that their movement is influenced by electron spin, a quantum property. This interaction occurs in ...

Beer, this ancient beverage, has accompanied humanity since the dawn of civilizations. Its history intertwines with that of agriculture, revealing ancient practices still little known. The earliest ...

Exactly a century ago, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger laid the foundations of an equation that would mark the history of quantum physics. This equation, bearing his name, describes the behavior ...

Earth viewed from space sometimes reveals unexpected spectacles. A recent photograph taken from the International Space Station provides a striking example. Astronaut Anne McClain captured a rare ...
