Electrically charged raindrops, a naturally occurring phenomenon, can break down surfaces treated with protective coatings, according to new research published in Nature. This previously overlooked co...

An AI assistant helped University of Colorado Boulder researchers solve a mathematical problem that had challenged their lab for a year and a half, though it made subtle errors along the way. The brea...

L’identité des enseignants s’est longtemps construite sur la maîtrise de disciplines. Mais être expert d’un domaine ne suffit pas à bien « faire apprendre » les élèves, et l’IA change la donne.

As many cities developed, streams that once flowed on the surface were buried underground to make way for growing infrastructure. However, as heavier rainfall, extreme weather and aging infrastructure...

Deux pilotes veulent boucler 40 000 kilomètres à bord d'un avion à hydrogène, sans se poser une seule fois pendant neuf jours de vol.

Une nouvelle limite de plaque tectonique pourrait naître sous l'Afrique. Des sources chaudes zambiennes en apportent la première preuve.

During CO2 enhanced oil recovery, bubble migration in the oil phase may disturb the interfacial stability of water-in-oil droplets, thereby affecting their defo

We investigate thermo-solutal transport phenomena and the resulting deposition patterns during the evaporation of surfactant-laden droplets, via experiments and

We introduce a simple droplet generation technique that rapidly stretches a liquid ligament on both quiescent and vibrating baths. By systematically varying the stretching distance and the radius of t...

As 3D printers become cheaper and easier to work with, researchers are finding new ways to incorporate the technology in their studies.

Plus les IA conversationnelles s’installent dans notre intimité, plus elles affaiblissent nos relations et notre santé mentale. Daniel Barcay en est convaincu, mais cet ancien ingénieur chez Google et...

This study numerically investigates drop impact dynamics on viscous liquid films, focusing on the underexplored role of the film-to-drop density ratio ( λ). Usi

This study uses a combination of high-speed imaging and volume-of-fluid simulations to investigate the dynamics of low-velocity collisions between liquid drople

Marangoni flows driven by chemical reactions arise when interfacial tension is modified by reactants or products at an air–liquid interface. We investigate the

The renewed vision of Physics of Fluids has been summarized in three words: “Physics First, Faster, and Fairer” (Physics of Fluids, March 2026). The three commi

Evaporating sessile droplets are usually treated as capillary objects, but droplets generated by routine handling can carry tens to hundreds of picocoulombs of

Scientific research publishing is a particularly lucrative industry. The most recent estimates suggest that it generates around 19 billion U.S. dollars (or 16.67 billion euros) in annual turnover, wit...

De l’éruption à l’origine du mythe de l’Atlantide aux volcans d’Auvergne assoupis qui pourraient se réveiller un jour en passant par la nuée ardente qui a enseveli Pompéi, Arnaud Guérin nous emmène da...

A new study from Virginia Tech found that scientists' credibility often hinges on their perceived motivations. "Our study finds that perceptions of scientists' motivation to serve the public good are ...

Researchers have developed a new 3D printing technique that allows the printing of whole objects while controlling the temperature of the chemical reaction to stabilize the process. Academics in the U...

On a summer day in Nashville, one person escapes the heat in an air-conditioned office while another delivers packages in a metal truck that absorbs heat or labors outdoors for hours under the sun.

Scientists from prestigious universities and large research groups are significantly more likely to have their research published in general-interest, top-tier scientific journals. Meanwhile, authors ...

Et si la vraie compétence d'avenir n'était finalement pas de savoir coder, mais de savoir philosopher ? C’est ce que suggère un article publié par le média américain The Economist, qui fait le constat...

Un simple film posé sur l’eau parvient à transformer la pluie en électricité pour moitié moins cher que les générateurs à gouttes actuels.

The Atlantic Ocean’s Balerion Lava Field doesn’t fit any established model of volcanic eruptions

AI could make science stronger—but only if we deliberately use it to strengthen the formation of future scientists rather than to reduce their numbers.
