China’s Tiangong space station has been the setting for an innovative experiment on lithium-ion batteries, conducted by the three astronauts of the Shenzhou-21 mission, according to the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. This study…

In a world where the immune system can be both hero and villain, three scientists have illuminated the path to taming its excesses. On October 6, 2025, the Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute announced that Mary E. Brunkow, PhD;…

The discovery of an extremely metal-poor galaxy, observed thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope, opens a fissure in the traditional cosmological narrative and invites us to think of the Universe not as a neat succession of closed stages, but…

For decades, physics has explained the transition from the quantum world to the classical world as a loss: coherence dissipates, superposition collapses, and reality “decides.” The notion of neocoherence proposes another reading: not the disappearance of quantum order, but its…

Contemporary physics has learned to describe the universe with unprecedented precision. Yet when it tries to say what time is, it stumbles again and again. Perhaps the problem lies not only in the models, but in the language through which…

The debate on Europe’s technological and industrial lag behind China is often framed in defensive terms: dependence, risk, unfair competition. However, the German case shows that this reading is not only incomplete, but also strategically mistaken. For a mature industrial…

In recent years, heat has stopped being just a number on a thermometer and has become something we can literally see at the atomic scale. In 2025, an international team led by Yichao Zhang used an ultrahigh‑resolution electron microscope to…

A growing movement is redefining Africa’s image on the international stage. So-called “narrative sovereignty” is emerging as a key strategic asset for the continent’s development. The concept, which upholds the right of African countries to tell their own stories, seeks…

The planned AI data center is meant to solidify the US’ new sphere of influence by leading the region into the “Fourth Industrial Revolution”, weaponize local data to fine-tune propaganda for helping the ruling party ahead of summer’s next elections,…

At work, Wang Zhifeng is a scientist specializing in solar thermal power research, but in his free time, he is an avid snow sports enthusiast. He has even covered one of the walls in his office with action shots of…
