The Ramses mission to asteroid Apophis is set to launch in 2028. It forms the cornerstone of a planetary defence programme designed to protect our planet from the risk of collision with near-Earth objects.
The international crisis over Greenland has highlighted the wealth of the Far North's underground resources, but at the same time obscured the role of its inhabitants in their extraction. All around the Arctic Circle, indigenous peoples are taking action to gain control over the mining boom in their lands.
At a time when the game “GTA VI”, whose launch has been postponed to November 2026, is drawing ever-greater attention in the media, a social psychology researcher investigates the impact on player behaviour of video games with aggressive content.
While International Women’s Day was celebrated earlier this month, women are not on a par with men, including when it comes to health. CNRS News is taking a look at illnesses that are more common, or even more severe, in women than in men, including Alzheimer’s, autoimmune diseases, and also certain cancers. Why is it so? Scientists are examining possible explanations.
By elucidating the mechanism that enables the microscopic fungus "Candida albicans" to cause an infection, a CNRS research team has opened the way towards several new therapeutic opportunities.
Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third instalment of the cinematic saga, premiered in movie theatres in late 2025. Ecologists and biologists have been examining the scientific premises of the film and the links between science and creative imagination. So, is the rich biodiversity of the moon Pandora plausible?
How to ensure an efficient energy supply for increasingly complex medical implants? A new study provides a theoretical framework for optimising wireless and battery-free devices powered by electromagnetic waves.
When the outside temperature drops, our body may start to shiver. But that’s not all: it also triggers a series of coordinated reactions to maintain its temperature at 37°C. What are the mechanisms that help us withstand the cold – and even influence our diet?
Many everyday objects contain PFAS, synthetic molecules that are virtually indestructible. These thousands of compounds are accumulating in both nature and our organisms. One avenue for eradicating them is bioremediation, which eliminates chemicals by using living organisms.
For the first time, researchers are assessing people’s opinions on policies for the global redistribution of wealth and the fight against climate change. Such measures receive massive, nearly universal support, albeit more so in Europe than in the United States.
