A new study, supported by the Make Our Planet Great Again program as part of the HOTCLIM project, and conducted by an international scientific team led by the Institute of Environmental Geosciences in Grenoble (IGE - CNR...

A research team, involving scientists from Grenoble Institut des neurosciences (GIN - CEA/CHUGA/Inserm/UGA) and Laboratoire des maladies neurodégénératives (CNRS/CEA/Université Paris-Saclay), has discovered that the inje...

A protein found abundantly in breast cancers that are refractory to conventional treatments is thought to cause the development of metastasis. Targeting it would prevent metastatic spread and therefore increase patients ...

Thanks to the collaboration of an international team of 54 scientists from 14 countries, led by the Université Grenoble Alpes, the exceptional heat event of March 15-19, 2022, has been fully documented. An exhaustive des...

Many mountain populations—in the Andes or Himalayas, for example—rely on glaciers for their water. Yet changes in glacial water reserves, like predictions of sea level rise, greatly depend on glacier volume and thickness...

Scientists from the French Alternative Energies & Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), Université Grenoble Alpes (UGA), and the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) have combined forces with the European Sync...

The functioning of the enzyme FAP, useful for producing biofuels and for green chemistry, has been decrypted. This result mobilized an international team of scientists, including many French researchers from the CEA, CN...

How best to evaluate the performance of a group testing strategy for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which involves pooling samples from multiple individuals to conduct a single RT-PCR test on the whole group? To do precisely that...

The recently launched EU-funded project GAIN4CROPS aims to improve photosynthetic efficiency of the oil crop sunflower using nature-inspired solutions and innovative breeding techniques. The 5-year 8M € project, funded u...

A new paper in Nature: Human Behaviour says behavioural science needs to undergo rigorous testing before it informs public policy on critical issues such as government responses to Covid-19. If no such testing can be don...

Over 99% of terrestrial ice is bound up in the ice sheets covering Antarctic and Greenland. Even partial melting of this ice due to climate change will significantly contribute to sea level rise. But how much exactly? Fo...

Researchers from Université Grenoble Alpes (TIMC Laboratory - UGA/CNRS/Grenoble INP) and Paris-Saclay University (Research Lab in Computer Science - CNRS/Inria) have published a study (Factor analysis of ancient populati...

Using the GRAVITY instrument of the European Southern Observatory (ESO), an international team of French, Irish, German and Portuguese astronomers observed for the first time the columns of matter that feed young stars. ...

Several interacting exoplanets have already been spotted by satellites. But a new breakthrough has been achieved with, for the first time, the detection directly from the ground of an extrasolar system of this type. An i...

An international team led by scientists from the ISTerre laboratory (UGA-CNRS-USMB-IRD-Université Gustave Eiffel) studied the first animal fossil contained in a gem opal from Indonesia. Published in Scientific Reports on...
