L’électronique de puissance est une brique indispensable de la transition énergétique. Mais avec la multiplication des usages vient l’enjeu des fins de vie des composants, difficiles à recycler.

Les chimistes Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson et Omar Yaghi sont récompensés pour leur contribution essentielle au développement des réseaux métalloorganiques (MOF, metal-organic frameworks ). Ces matériaux offrent de nouvelles solutions technologiques pour le stockage de l’énergie, la capture du CO2, ou la filtration des polluants.

Three researchers share this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics for demonstrating that quantum tunnelling could be observed in a special type of circuit. Plus, neurons can pass messages through tiny tubes and what a doughnut can tell us about the path to true prosperity.

Space scientists look back on three decades of exoplanet discoveries—from rows of massive ‘super-Earths‘ to worlds with perfectly synchronized orbits

Astronaut-turned-author Chris Hadfield discusses his new thriller Final Orbit, which weaves real cold war history, space race geopolitics and firsthand experience into a gripping work of fiction.

Three scientists, including one from the U.S., share the 2025 Nobel Prize in chemistry for developing “metal-organic frameworks,” versatile molecular cages that can trap contaminants, store energy and possibly deliver drugs to specific areas of the body.

The Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission is about to get its fourth satellite. Copernicus Sentinel-1D has now undergone the checks and functional tests prior to its integration with Ariane 6, ready for launch on Tuesday, 4 November 2025.

During recent storms, satellites recorded ocean waves averaging nearly 20 metres high – as tall as the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and the largest ever measured from space. Moreover, satellite data now reveal that ocean swells act as storm ‘messengers’: even though a storm may never make landfall, its swell can travel vast distances and bring destructive energy to distant coastlines.

Le Prix Nobel de physique 2025 consacre le britannique John Clarke, l’étasunien John Martinis ainsi que le français Michel Devoret, pour leurs "expériences ayant révélé des effets quantiques macroscopiques dans des circuits électriques supraconducteurs".

Duplicating expensive resources is expensive and wasteful, and most people would agree it's unnecessary. However, the planned increase in major satellite constellations is currently causing a massive duplication of resources as individual companies and even countries try to set up their own infrastructure in space. What’s more, there is a relatively limited amount of space in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), where many of these satellites are supposed to go - any more than that and a single collision could cause Kessler Syndrome, where many of the ones already in orbit would be destroyed and we wouldn’t be able to launch any more for a long time. A new paper from researchers at the National University of Defense Technology in China suggests an alternative to these multiple megaconstellations - a single, modular system similar to how cloud computing works on the current internet.

October 2025 may provide a memorable sky scene, as Comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon puts on an encore appearance at dusk. The comet joins Comet R2 SWAN, which slides 0.26 Astronomical Units (AU) past Earth on October 20th. Both are currently fine objects for binoculars or a small telescope, vying for top spot at magnitude +6.
