One study investigated the possible link between arctic melting in the Arctic and the spread of a virus. It is about a virus usually present in Atlantic mammals having contaminated other animals in the Pacific! An epidemic that questions In 2017, researchers had alerted about old viruses that could be “revitalized” by melting ice or […]

A team of researchers has recently developed small “artificial sunflowers” capable of tracking sunlight. What to maximize the yields of photovoltaic systems. Sunflowers, to survive, developed during their evolution a very interesting technique: heliotropism. The idea is to follow the sun’s light, source of heat, in order to warm their reproductive organs. In doing so, […]

A recent study has quantified the impact of global warming on the future productivity of outdoor work, and low-income countries will be the hardest hit. The global warming of temperatures, of anthropic origin, transforms the face of our planet. There are well-known consequences such as melting glaciers and rising sea levels. Or there is the […]

A team of astronomers based on 10 years of observation of the Hubble telescope has discovered that the Milky Way seems to absorb more gas than it rejects.The source of this surplus material remains for the moment debated. Our galaxy could be considered a gigantic living organism. Inside, stars are born, evolve and die, expelling […]

A competition organized by EDF in Africa has awarded Triomphant Tchulang, a young Cameroonian, who has made a solar photovoltaic refrigerator, an invention whose potential is far from negligible! Photovoltaic solar refrigerator Triumphant Chulang is a resident of the Higher Institute of Sahel in Maroua (Cameroon) and promoter of the Clean Energy Services startup. In […]

A humpback whale was sighted by residents, swimming in the Thames about twenty kilometers from central London, this weekend. It seems that the animal has since managed to reach the sea. Whales exist in British waters. It can sometimes happen that some specimens get lost in the Thames. Last year, for example, a beluga named […]

US researchers have developed a gel to make trees fire resistant. It is then a question of anticipating the fires of seasons and facilitating the work of the firemen. This is a unique prevention tool that could be applied soon. A spray gel According to a statement released on September 30, 2019, this freeze was […]

Astronomers claim to have discovered a cluster of 12 galaxies formed 13 billion years ago, 700 million years after the Big Bang. The details of the study are published in The Astrophysical Journal. A year ago, researchers announced the detection of a cluster of galaxies 11.1 billion light-years from Earth. The oldest at the time. […]

A few days ago, we announced that we had detected the presence of a possible interstellar comet in our system. Its nature has just been confirmed. The object was officially named, as tradition dictates, in honor of its discoverer. Two years ago, an interstellar visitor – now called Oumuamua – was spotted by researchers at […]
