To mark #WorldWaterDay on 22 March, we present an overview in images of the countless, sometimes unexpected issues surrounding the most vital and threatened resource of the 21st century.
26 July is the international day for the conservation of mangroves. This atypical maritime forest, subject to the tides and trade winds, plays an essential role in the dynamics of tropical shores and provides unsuspected services to populations and the environment.The mangrove, a forest that grows in salt water
CNRS is organising conferences, workshops and film-discussions about the brain throughout France during the Brain Awareness Week from 16 to 22 March 2026. This is a great opportunity to present you with an overview of research on this intriguing object!
CNRS and IFREMER have been tasked with organizing the One Ocean Science Congress (OOSC), a UNOC3 Special Event dedicated to Science, and to provide Heads of State, Government, and the broader society, with comprehensive scientific insights on the Ocean's health.
Since the 20th century, quantum physics has enabled a series of technological innovations that have revolutionised our daily lives (transistor, laser, etc.). Nowadays, research focuses on quantum computers, simulators and sensors as well as spintronics.
Matter on a macroscopic scale still holds many discoveries in the field of soft matter, new materials (graphene, metamaterials, etc.) and the study of collective behaviour (active matter).
Nanosciences and nanotechnologies are revolutionising research by handling matter on a nanometric scale, close to the atom. They open up innovative prospects in various fields, including materials, medicine, electronics and energy.
