Fruit de plus de vingt-cinq ans de négociations, l'accord commercial entre l'UE et l'Amérique du Sud élimine la quasi-totalité des droits de douane industriels entre les deux blocs. Revue de détails des gains escomptés, et des contreparties qui font débat.

Un article de l’historien Jean-Baptiste Fressoz relance le débat sur l’activité du groupe-3 du Groupe d’experts intergouvernemental sur l’évolution du climat. Il l’accuse de technophilie, et de sous-estimer le volet sociétal de l’action contre le changement climatique. Mais d’où vient le problème ?

Introduire un changement est en effet difficile et risqué. Par définition, l’innovateur va à l’encontre des modèles mentaux dominants, ce qui fait que son innovation n’a souvent littéralement aucun sens. Non seulement on ne la comprend pas, mais on la trouve inutile, irréalisable, nocive, voire moralement suspecte. On oublie souvent que beaucoup de ce que nous trouvons banal aujourd’hui a été accueilli avec hostilité à son origine.

Lightning contributes up to 15% of nitrogen oxides worldwide, influencing ozone, smog, and even methane breakdown, scientists find.

We're living through an unprecedented paradox: your best innovation ideas aren't losing to bad ideas – they're losing to exhaustion. The Hidden Crisis Every executive I know is evaluating 40+ innovation proposals monthly.

Engineers send quantum signals across commercial fiber using standard internet protocols, a step toward scalable quantum networking.

Tsinghua’s Agent Hospital was made up of 14 AI doctors upon launch. At its core, is MedAgent-Zero, the self-evolving AI framework developed by the University’s AIR (Institute for AI Industry Research). Moreover, in November of 2024, the “Zijing AI Doctor” was launched. Developed by a Tsinghua University spin-out start-up, Zijing Zhikang, to serve as the core component in AI Agent’s ecosystem.1 The system features 42 AI doctors across 21 clinical specialties, covering over 300 diseases. Furthermore, each specialty has trained its virtual agents on over ten common conditions. And finally, by creating a pool of half a million synthetic patient cases to test and evolve diagnostic accuracy. These AI doctors can treat 10,000 patients with 93% accuracy in a matter of days, a feat that would take real doctors years to complete.

The electron spillover length was highly dependent on the potentials, metals, and electrolytes. An electron spillover with a length of up to 4 Å was observed at the Ag electrode–organic electrolyte interface. These results provide quantitative measurements of the fundamental details of electronic behaviors in metal–liquid interfaces, which may guide efforts to tailor the physical and chemical properties of metals under electrochemical polarization and prospectively enable active control of quantum plasmonics for angstrom-scale interfacial sensing.

Political and social changes in the U.S. and other Western democracies in the 21st century have triggered growing concerns about possible erosion of academic freedom.In the past, colleges and universities largely decided whom to admit and hire, what to teach, and which research to support. Increasingly, those prerogatives are being challenged.

Despite the rush to integrate powerful new models, about 5% of AI pilot programs achieve rapid revenue acceleration; the vast majority stall, delivering little to no measurable impact on P&L. The research—based on 150 interviews with leaders, a survey of 350 employees, and an analysis of 300 public AI deployments—paints a clear divide between success stories and stalled projects.

J’ai testé pour vous pendant un mois le Minimal Phone — ce smartphone e-paper à clavier physique. Je voulais savoir si la combinaison d’un écran papier noir et blanc, d’un clavier physique et d’Android était une option viable pour reprendre en main sa vie numérique dans l’esprit de l’accompagnement que propose TeleCoop à ses abonnés mobile.

Beeyond, plataforma de publicidad programática DOOH (Digital Out of Home), analizó cómo La Inteligencia Artificial y los datos están redefiniendo la creatividad en la Argentina y América Latina

En à peine dix ans, un établissement marocain a réussi à se faire une place dans le classement des meilleures classes préparatoires pour les écoles d'ingénieurs les plus prestigieuses. Niveau remarquable en maths, quasi-parité dans les classes : le modèle a de quoi susciter la curiosité en France.

Choosing between building a venture internally or seeking external partnerships is a strategic decision and critical to long-term success. Yet many leaders hesitate, unsure of the risks, trade-offs, and hidden challenges of either path.

What do The Blues Brothers, Don Quixote, and the First Crusade have in common? Each had a clear sense of mission, a “mandate from above” that drove them forward with conviction and legitimacy.

Les personnes atteintes d’Alzheimer oublient souvent de boire… mais raffolent des sucreries. Partant de ce constat, un jeune inventeur a imaginé les Jelly Drops : des bonbons sans sucre composés à 95% d’eau et enrichis en électrolytes. Colorés, ludiques et faciles à consommer, ils permettent aux malades de rester hydratés sans effort, notamment en période de forte chaleur.

Derrière cette astuce graphique, TD Bank promeut son offre d’actions fractionnées, permettant d’investir dans ces marques à partir d’un dollar seulement. Un concept rendu littéral par l’accroche “Own a piece of it” — comprenez “Offrez-vous un morceau” — qui vient renforcer l’idée d’accessibilité à ces géants mondiaux.

Innovation is often the gold standard for firms looking to grow profits and become leaders in their industries. But given the steep cost of failure, is a relentless pursuit of innovation always advisable? Or might there be some instances when imitation may be a better strategy to drive performance gains? This research-backed framework helps companies make more informed decisions about their innovation or imitation strategy: First, companies need to determine their industry’s maturity; then, they must plot their company’s position relative to competitors along important criteria. Knowing where their company falls along these dimensions can help leaders make the right decisions—saving resources, reducing risk, and accelerating impact.

Earth and our entire Milky Way galaxy may sit inside a mysterious giant hole which makes the cosmos expand faster here than in neighbouring regions of the universe, astronomers say. Their theory is a potential solution to the 'Hubble tension' and could help confirm the true age of our universe, which is estimated to be around 13.8 billion years old. The latest research – shared at the Royal Astronomical Society’s National Astronomy Meeting (NAM) in Durham – shows that sound waves from the early universe, "essentially the sound of the Big Bang", support this idea.
