Researchers are replacing rigid silicon-based AI hardware with stretchable, neuromorphic electronics that mimic how the brain processes information, opening new possibilities for long-term human-machine integration. Modern artificial intelligence can outperform humans in tasks ranging from image recognition to medical data analysis, but there is one environment where today’s hardware still struggles: the human body.

Aux États-Unis, un homme est mort de la rage quelques semaines après avoir reçu une greffe de rein. Il s’avère que son donneur avait été contaminé par un animal, mais n’avait pas été diagnostiqué.
Commercial truck startup Harbinger is partnering with the robotics experts at American Rheinmetall to develop an uncrewed military ground vehicle based on the company’s medium duty hybrid and electric truck chassis.
L’expansion navale chinoise continue à un rythme soutenu, portée par une multiplication de nouveaux bâtiments souvent découverts grâce aux images satellites. Cette fois, c’est un appareil à la silhouette inhabituelle qui attire l’attention des observateurs et soulève de nombreuses questions sur...
Preparations for Next Moonwalk Simulations Underway (and Underwater)
Boeing assembles a composite aircraft fuselage section in one of its production facilities. Composite materials are used in major portions of modern aircraft, including sections of the fuselage and wings on aircraft such as the Boeing 787. NASA’s HiCAM project aims to help accelerate manufacturing processes for future composite aircraft.

NASA’s Hi-Rate Composite Aircraft Manufacturing (HiCAM) project brought together its full team of Advanced Composites Consortium partners for a 2026 spring review at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia.
The meeting took place May 5-7, bringing together about 150 people from the consortium, a 22-member public-private partnership.
The review gave NASA and industry partners a chance to look at recent progress and plan for the work ahead. NASA announced recent portfolio decisions, selecting technologies that can have the greatest impact on manufacturing rate for the next airplane program.
During the meeting, teams reviewed the latest results from the project’s Development Phase and discussed early progress under Phase 2, known as the Demonstration Phase. This phase will scale up key manufacturing technologies in the coming years.
A major part of the event included full-day workshops focused on assembly demonstrations of two large aircraft structures: the wing and fuselage. These sessions brought together NASA researchers, industry engineers, and partners to share updates, exchange ideas, and discuss long-term plans. Many teams said they noticed stronger collaboration and coordination across the group this year.
That collaboration supports HiCAM’s goal of large-scale manufacturing demonstrations of a composite fuselage barrel and wing box in 2028 and 2029. These demonstrations represent major project milestones and will help show how advanced composite materials and processes could support faster, lower cost aircraft production.
NASA and its partners continue to make steady progress toward the project’s goals. The project’s work could help pave the way for new manufacturing methods for lightweight composite structures that make future aircraft easier to build and more efficient to operate.
Une nouvelle cartographie du mouvement de millions d'étoiles montre que le Petit Nuage de Magellan, l'une des galaxies naines les plus proches de la Voie lactée, n'est pas une galaxie en rotation stable comme on le pensait. Les données révèlent une expansion généralisée provoquée par l'influence...
Lease deals get all the hype, but a lot of people would still rather buy their vehicles. If that sounds like you, you’re in luck, because there’s a whole bunch of great EVs you can buy with 0% financing this month – including the best-selling Tesla Model Y!
Couper un photon en deux. L’idée semble absurde. Pourtant, des physiciens ont tenté l’expérience. Ils ont déclenché un phénomène encore plus déroutant.
Os leões que rondavam as cavernas da Era do Gelo e foram retratados em desenhos e até estatuetas por alguns dos primeiros artistas da humanidade pertenciam a uma espécie diferente da de seus primos atuais, embora tenham cruzado com eles algumas vezes.

Depuis quelques années, une présence étrange s’étire en silence à la surface de l’Atlantique. Vue de l’espace, elle dessine un immense ruban brun reliant deux continents. Ce phénomène, quasi inconnu il y a peu, intrigue les scientifiques autant qu’il inquiète les riverains.
Une étude montre pour la première fois que les habitudes de chacun concernant la consommation de café n’est pas sans conséquence sur le sommeil. Boire du café, notamment l’après-midi ou le soir, ne fait pas que retarder l’endormissement. Cette habitude affecte d’autres aspects du sommeil...
