Whether they occur on holiday routes or the daily commute, traffic jams affect cars as well as pedestrians. Scientists at the Research Center on Animal…
Scientists from the CNRS and Aix-Marseille Université have recently shown how valuable light-sensitive macromolecules are: when exposed to the right wavelength of light, they can…
The Solar System’s second largest planet both in mass and size, Saturn is best known for its rings. These are divided by a wide band,…
Comets made up of two lobes, such as 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, visited by the Rosetta spacecraft, are produced when the debris resulting from a destructive collision between…
New research investigates the combination of elliptical deformation of streamlines and vorticity that can lead to the destabilization of any rotating flow via the elliptical…
Using boron nitride nanotubes, researchers have discovered a new method for harnessing energy from the salinity difference between fresh water and salt water. The salinity…
Scientists observed two new colonies totaling 6,000 emperor penguin chicks near Mertz Glacier in Antarctica, raising the estimated population in this area to about three…
Scientists using the XMM-Newton X-ray astronomy satellite discovered a new signature of a source of low-energy hadronic cosmic rays in the vicinity of the Arches…
A team of researchers have discovered a new molecule with anti-cancer and anti-metastatic properties that targets the multiplication of cells and their mobility, possibly preventing…
