Medicine, biology, genetics, pharmacology, zoology, but also environmental sciences are of course in the front line in the fight against Covid-19. But, in the face of the coronavirus, and unlike the previous major epidemics that have hit the planet since the beginning of this century - avian flu, SARS, influenza, etc. - the virus is not a new phenomenon.

Solar energy, in its various forms, could supply not only the bulk of the world's electricity, but also more than two-thirds of the world's primary energy production, according to several recent scientific studies, and would be unrivalled in terms of competitiveness. This energy transition would halve our

As part of the necessary energy transition, France had set itself the objective of installing 500 to 600 high-power machines in the form of offshore wind turbines so that by 2030, 40 % of our electricity will come from renewable energies. Although France has the second largest deposit of wind energy in the world, it is not the only one.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has released its new report on antibiotic resistance and it is worthy of attention. This rigorous study reminds us that this phenomenon of bacterial resistance causes approximately 480,000 cases of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis worldwide each year and already causes 700,000

A few weeks ago, several major discoveries were made in quick succession to rekindle the hypothesis of possible extraterrestrial life. The first of these discoveries concerns Enceladus, a moon of Saturn with very special characteristics that have been confirmed by the data collected by the Cassini probe (a

For a very long time, the scientific community considered that plants, although they were certainly capable of adapting to changes in their environment through the mechanisms of natural selection, lacked a nervous system and the ability to learn - as is the case in

For a very long time, sport and physical activity, although recognised as beneficial for fitness and health, were considered subsidiary and seen essentially as adjustment variables that complemented allopathic medicine, whose therapeutic effectiveness was constantly increasing. However, during these

"I am wary of the contagion of machines" said Georges Duhamel. Or again, Isaac Asimov: "The robots will free us". So what should we think? Without us realizing it, we are really changing the world with robots driven by thought or the generalization of Big Data opening up to analysis.
