The formation of particles from the Big Bang has been simulated in the laboratory
Where does cosmic radiation matter and light come from? Physicists have had ideas about this since the early 1960s and these ideas are not unrelated to black hole radiation. Some of the leads derived from quantum field theory in curved space-time have now been tested for cosmology with a Bose-Einstein capacitor in a laboratory on…

“Women and Science”: Workshops to Light the Science Flame
While choosing to continue their studies, scores of high school girls strolled the corridors of Polytechnic Montreal on Saturday to discover careers in science. As an engineer, computer scientist or biologist, science is not about spending whole days alone, in a laboratory, doing experiments, an image that the “women and science” phenomenon tries to debunk.…

Heavy snowfall in the mountains for the next few days
Unsettled weather will continue in France until the middle of next week. Sea air, moist and fresh, snow falls heavily on our massifs. If the soil can be temporarily bleached above 1300 m elevation, a significant thickness is observed especially between 1500 and 1700 m elevation. High stations will benefit from regular plastering, creating the…

The first galaxies may have formed earlier than we thought
The first galaxies may have formed earlier than astronomers previously thought, according to preliminary observations from the new James Webb Space Telescope, which have already shaken up scientific understanding of the cosmos in just a few months. “One way or another, the universe was able to form galaxies faster and earlier than we thought,” said…
