Sans surprise, le président du parti Les Républicains a annoncé sa candidature pour l’Elysée. Une déclaration classique sur la forme, pour un candidat de 65 ans qui ignore encore le chemin à suivre entre une primaire interne, ouverte à une droite élargie, ou une désignation par les adhérents.

Exhaust billows out of a car tailpipe on January 2nd, 2008, in San Francisco. | Photo: Getty Images The Trump administration just eliminated the landmark finding that has underpinned federal regulations on planet-heating pollution since 2009. For nearly the past two decades, the "endangerment finding" has allowed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to craft rules limiting greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act. Rather than repealing those rules individually, the Trump administration can undermine them all at once by attacking the endangerment finding.
Today, the EPA finalized its plans to overturn the endangerment finding as part of its attempts to overhaul tailpipe pollution standards. The...

Adopté en 2009 par l’Agence de protection de l’environnement (EPA) sous la présidence de Barack Obama, le texte avait ouvert la voie à de nombreuses réglementations fédérales visant à limiter les rejets de gaz à effet de serre.

Emmanuel Mounier
Mon père, Edmond Jorion (1917-2002), était un grand admirateur d’Emmanuel Mounier (1905-1950), fondateur de la revue Esprit, inspirateur du « personnalisme ». Il aurait été très fier que je sois cité dans un article qui lui est consacré.
… Et donc, la vraie question est bien celle des choix et des principes fondateurs qui fixent l’horizon de sens politique et spirituel. Ce qui ne dispense en rien de l’analyse technique de la situation, mais conduit à la replacer dans sa juste grille d’interprétation.

Kidney aging rarely draws attention until something goes wrong. Over time, these organs quietly lose strength, filter less efficiently, and struggle to keep the body balanced. A new study now brings kidney aging into sharp focus by turning to an unlikely helper; a tiny fish that lives its entire life in just a few months. Scientists reveal how the African turquoise killifish mirrors the aging process of human kidneys at remarkable speed. The work also uncovers how a widely prescribed drug can protect aging kidneys by preserving their delicate blood vessels and cellular health. Together, these findings may reshape how kidney aging is studied and treated. Why Kidney Aging Is So Hard To Study Kidneys play a...

Architect Cary Bernstein cleared out the spiders, carved out some extra square footage, and ensured there’d be ample storage space for toys and art supplies.Welcome to From the Archive, a look back at stories from Dwell’s past. This story previously appeared in the June 2008 issue.   Among the quirks of living in a city built on hills is that your garage—should you be lucky enough to have one—may reside on a street far removed from your front door. For one family living in San Francisco’s Eureka Valley neighborhood, hopping in the car means heading through the kitchen and out the back door, traversing the garden, and ascending a flight of stairs to an alley of similarly detached parking structures....

The Epstein files have revealed more about the pedophile’s relationship to 4Chan. | Image: Cath Virginia / The Verge, Getty Images On October 24th, 2011, Jeffrey Epstein was emailing back and forth with Boris Nikolic, a biotech venture capitalist who would later be named as a backup executor of Epstein's will. The two appeared to be discussing a meeting Nikolic had helped arrange between Epstein and "moot," the screen name for Christopher Poole, who created the platform 4chan in 2003. Nikolic asked Epstein if he liked moot, and Epstein wrote back that he liked him a lot, thought he was very bright, and had driven him home. All of these emails were published for the first time alongside 3.5 million other...

Sam Bankman-Fried asked a court for a new trial, saying testimony from a new witness could alter the case, a move with significant legal implications.

Anyone who has spent any amount of time in or near people who are really interested in energy policies will have heard proclamations such as that ‘baseload is dead’ and the sorting of energy sources by parameters like their levelized cost of energy (LCoE) and merit order. Another thing that one may have noticed here is that this is also an area where debates and arguments can get pretty heated.
The confusing thing is that depending on where you look, you will find wildly different claims. This raises many questions, not only about where the actual truth lies, but also about the fundamentals. Within a statement such as that ‘baseload is dead’ there lie a lot of unanswered questions, such as what...

Amazon announced Wednesday that Amazon Pharmacy will expand same-day prescription delivery to nearly 4,500 U.S. cities and towns by the end of 2026.

We are all guilty of pulling out our phones and doomscrolling through stressful headlines or mindnumbing videos when we should be doing anything else. We know it's bad, but we still do it because it's hard to resist when much of our time is spent living and working on our devices. And even though we understand that we'd be better off with less screen time, our extremely online society doesn't exactly encourage that kind of healthy behavior.
These are some of the familiar ideas at work in Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die, director Gore Verbinski's new sci-fi film about a man's desperate fight to save humanity from an apocalyptic future where m …

The coverage of the Winter Olympics in the media frequently highlights the athletic abilities of athletes, and a new study conducted at the University of Michigan reveals that it simultaneously conveys an unreported underlying theme about who has the legitimate right to belong in America. The extreme difference in the way United States media reported on Chloe Kim and Eileen Gu’s first Winter Olympics illustrates this point clearly. Their backgrounds were nearly identical. They were both raised by immigrant parents in the United States, excelled in elite-level winter sports, and participated in the Olympics as young athletes. The Department of Kinesiology at the University of Michigan led the research...

Mise en ligne à la fin de janvier sur Prime Video, la série britannique connaît un fort succès avec une prestation très remarquée de Sophie Turner. “Steal” plonge les spectateurs dans les bureaux londoniens d’un fonds d’investissement secoué par un casse.

Une directrice d’école de 54 ans a succombé à ses blessures après une attaque survenue dans son école. Le suspect, un adolescent de 18 ans qui était armé, a été interpellé par la police. Il aurait été suivi pour des troubles psychiatriques liés à l’usage de drogues. Pour certains médias locaux, ce fait divers est une illustration tragique de l’ampleur du désarroi d’une jeunesse thaïlandaise négligée.

The charge was brought after the Council of Europe lifted his immunity, which he had as its former secretary general.

It is no secret that we often use and abuse bash to write things that ought to be in a different language. But bash does have its attractions. In the modern world, it is practically everywhere. It can also be very expressive, but perhaps hard to read.
We’ve talked about Amber before, a language that is made to be easier to read and write, but transpiles to bash so it can run anywhere. The FOSDEM 2026 conference featured a paper by [Daniele Scasciafratte] that shows how to best use Amber. If you prefer slides to a video, you can read a copy of the presentation. For an example, here’s a typical Amber script. It compiles fully to a somewhat longer bash script: import * from "std/env"

Les voitures Waymo, celles qui se baladent toutes seules à San Francisco, Phoenix ou Los Angeles... ne seraient pas si autonomes que ça en fait. Hé oui, quand elles sont paumées, ce sont des opérateurs aux Philippines qui leur disent quoi faire.
C'est le chef de la sécurité de Waymo lui-même, Mauricio Peña, qui a lâché le morceau lors d'une audience au Congrès américain le 4 février dernier. Du coup on apprend que ces fameux robotaxis, quand ils bloquent sur une situation (un carrefour bizarre, un chantier, une route pas cartographiée...), envoient une demande d'aide à des opérateurs humains qui pour certains sont basés aux États-Unis et d'autres aux Philippines.
Peña a bien insisté : ces...

A new scientific revelation reveals that deep in the Earth’s core lies a good amount of hydrogen as well as a large amount of iron. While the iron in the core has always been recognized as dominant, the addition of hydrogen could account for up to 45 ocean equivalents of hydrogen when compared to the amount found in Earth’s oceans today, according to a report just published in Nature Communications. Scientists have known for many years that pure iron could not account for the density of the Earth’s core. Therefore, they have theorized that there must be some amount of lighter elements incorporated into the core. The most likely candidate for inclusion is hydrogen, being the lightest element in the...

If you’ve been even casually following NASA’s return to the Moon, you’re likely aware of the recent Wet Dress Rehearsal (WDR) for the Artemis II mission. You probably also heard that things didn’t go quite to plan: although the test was ultimately completed and the towering Space Launch System (SLS) rocket was fully loaded with propellant, a persistent liquid hydrogen leak and a few other incidental issues lead the space agency to delay further testing for at least a month while engineers make adjustments to the vehicle.
This constitutes a minor disappointment for fans of spaceflight, but when you’re strapping four astronauts onto more than five million pounds of propellants, there’s no such thing...

While publicly supporting protesters in Iran, Elon Musk’s X appears to have been selling premium accounts to regime officials. Check marks were removed from certain accounts after a WIRED inquiry.

Product-liability lawsuits can bring justice for people harmed by corporate failure. But a complicated, opaque process provides opportunities for con artists.

Living organisms share an ancestor called the last universal common ancestor, or LUCA. LUCA is estimated to have lived approximately four billion years ago. All plants, animals, and microbes can trace their genealogy back to that original ancestral cell. Since the 1980s, researchers have worked to determine the biological composition of LUCA by comparing the genomes of present-day organisms to identify similarities. These studies show that LUCA had a lipid membrane surrounding it, an active genetic code, and cellular machinery that allowed it to make proteins. In short, LUCA was not simply a mixture of chemicals. LUCA was a cell consisting of many components. These results bring up the question of how LUCA...

Weight loss is often described as a reset. Your blood sugar can improve. Your risk of diabetes and heart disease can fall. Yet a stubborn question has lingered for years: does your fat tissue truly heal, or does it keep a “memory” of obesity even after the scale drops? A new study from the University of Southern Denmark takes that question seriously and examines it up close, cell by cell. Using advanced single-cell analyses, researchers tracked what happens inside fat tissue during modest weight loss and after major weight loss following gastric bypass surgery. The team reports that after large weight loss, fat tissue in these patients largely resembled the lean state. The findings appear in Nature...

Although at its face the results seem obvious, a recent study by [Sandrah Eckel] et al. on the impact of electric cars in California is interesting from a quantitative perspective. What percentage of ICE-only cars do you need to replace with either full electric or hybrid cars before you start seeing an improvement in air quality?
A key part of the study was the use of the TROPOMI instrument, part of the European Sentinel-5 Precursor satellite. This can measure trace gases and aerosols in the atmosphere, both of which directly correlate with air quality. The researchers used historical TROPOMI data from 2019 to 2023 in the study, combining this data with vehicle registrations in California and accounting for...
