In only one year of operation, the James Webb Space Telescope has revolutionised the way the universe is observed. Images of protostars, the birth of galaxies, unprecedented information about exoplanets... the data collected will fuel astronomical research for many years to come.

The European probe Euclid took off successfully on 1 July 2023. Its objective is ambitious: to attempt to solve the enigma of dark matter and above all dark energy, which make up 95% of the universe.

ESA's Euclid Mission

Sophie, Pablo, Rosemary, Raphaël, and Marco are the ESA astronauts appointed through a lengthy selection process, whose exciting time at the European Astronaut Centre in Cologne began in April 2023. Initially, they will undergo training for stays on the ISS, but later they will also be prepared for a medium-term lunar mission and potentially even beyond that, meaning a mission to Mars!

Hydrogen is touted as the solution to move away from gas and oil. This promoted alternative, touted as a sustainable energy source, is making headlines as it can be used to power buses and heating systems. But where will all this hydrogen come from? And how environmentally friendly is this solution?

Hydrogen Power: Miracle or Pipe Dream?

Hydrogen is considered the oil of the future. An increasing number of cities are attempting to inject it into their gas networks.

Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and similar platforms relay a wide range of content, information, and opinions. In countries where freedom of the press is limited, social media can play a crucial role. Berlin-based AlgorithmWatch warns that social media algorithms help fraudsters target vulnerable individuals with their malicious software.

The world of work is undergoing a major upheaval. A study by the World Economic Forum reveals that as early as 2025, more tasks will be performed by robots and artificial intelligence than by human beings. This could potentially result in the elimination of millions of jobs.

Have you ever seen a windsurfer who slices through the waves with the help of the breeze, as if flying over water? That's all thanks to the centreboard, and a physical concept: lift. The same force that makes planes fly and propels javelins over long distances.

The Mechanics of Strength

If you spin a top, it will continue to rotate on its own for a while. Physicists found the explanation for this phenomenon: inside angular momentum. In sport it is used by trampoliners. They are true masters of the art of turning and can perform up to 50 spins in 20 seconds.

Trampoliners can spin up to 50 times in the space of just 20 seconds

The pole vault is a discipline is based on the transformation of kinetic energy into elastic energy and then into gravitational energy. Athletes must play with energy, optimise it, transform it, and conserve it.

The Strongest of Them All

Since antiquity, scientists have tracked down the principles behind the movements of moving things, from planets to athletes. Running champions make sure of basic principles of physics developed by Newton to improve their performance. We take a look at the maths behind the movement.
