From space, Ana Martins, head of the oceanography department at the University of the Azores in Portugal, studies ocean colours using the visible spectrum of electromagnetic radiation to observe marine currents and infer properties such as phytoplankton presence, water temperature and salinity. Thanks to satellite oceanography, Ana has reconciled her two passions: space and the ocean.
Marina Rantanen is a young graduate in training at ESA (ESTEC). She likes to work on technologies that will one day be embedded in space.
Quantum physics may be tomorrow's answer to secure sensitive data... unless the hackers themselves become quantum!
One can protect oneself from water thanks to the hydrophobic surfaces like that of the lotus leaf, or thanks to the calefaction. In these two phenomena, the water levitates at almost normal temperatures. That opens up many possibilities! An episode of the series "The black box".
The morpho is a beautiful butterfly from South America whose wings seem to radiate a blue light. Could we imitate the structure of its wings to generate light, too? An episode of the series "The black box".
In the brain, the thalamus regulates pain, but is difficult to access. To treat persistent pain such as fibromyalgia, a non-invasive method is being studied: the use of a magnetic field on a targeted area by a preparatory MRI.
The movements of bacteria seem random. However, from these non-rectilinear trajectories emerges a perfect overall movement when it comes, for example, to joining food, in this case glucose... Other cases are observable in nature, in fish or insects. An episode of the series "The black box".
The adult brain compensates for words that lacked a sentence using experience and context. But what happens in the brain of a 2-year-old child? Will he recognize a sentence with a correct meaning but an incorrect syntax? An episode of the series "The black box".
To get "light" fries is the subject of extensive research that interests frozen french fries manufacturers. Coming soon? An episode of the series "The black box".
In some pathologies of the bone, a piece of bone is currently used as a graft. With stem cells colonizing pieces of coral skeleton, the bone could be better repaired. For now, the experience on the mouse seems conclusive! An episode of the series "The black box".
After oil and agrofuels to roll our cars, here ... baker's yeast! Innovative and ecological, right? An episode of the series "The black box".
The ban on animal testing for cosmetic products sold in Europe came into force in March 2015. Mathematicians offer an alternative through 3D simulation and digital modeling of... the liver at work. Why? Because the liver plays a vital filter role for toxic substances...
