Dr. Jessica Studer has spent the last 3 months without seeing daylight. She is spending one year in one of Earth's most extreme places: Antarctica, at Concordia Station.
Her research will help us better understand how humans adapt to hostile environments and how isolation impacts their health and well-being. Additionally, it will shed light on what astronauts experience while traveling in space.

What is quantum computing? How will it simplify our lives, and increase our productivity? What challenges does it face? Is quantum computing ever going to enter our everyday lives, replacing parts of our laptops and smartphones for quicker computations?
And the century's mystery: Is Schrödinger’s cat dead or alive?
We ask all these questions to two experts in quantum computing. Stephanie Wehner is a professor at Delft University of Technology and the director of the Quantum Internet Alliance. Mathias Van Den Bosch works at Thales Alenia Space.

Raymond, Aline, Anne-Sophie, and Romain are four of the many Europeans involved in the building and launch of Ariane 6, Europe’s brand new rocket. And they also hold a crucial responsibility: each of them is authorized to press the red button to halt the launch. Why would they do so, and when? The stakes are incredibly high, as this launch signifies Europe regaining its independent access to space. How do they cope with this pressure?

Quantum is the smallest possible amount of something in the universe, but it could spark the most significant revolution in medicine of the century. How? By accelerating the discovery of new drugs through quantum computing. 
Jean-Philippe Piquemal is one of the key figures driving this progress. As the director of the Theoretical Chemistry Laboratory at Sorbonne University and the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), he sheds light on how quantum pharmacy will offer hope for challenging illnesses.
