A l’occasion des quatre ans de l’invasion à grande échelle de l’Ukraine par la Russie, Faustine Vincent et Emmanuel Grynszpan, envoyés spéciaux et spécialistes de l’Ukraine, ont répondu à vos questions.

En 2014, une photo d’elle attachée à un poteau par les séparatistes prorusses de Donetsk a fait le tour du monde. Aujourd’hui, Iryna Dovhan se bat pour aider les femmes victimes de la guerre. Le média ukrainien “Jyttia” l’a rencontrée.

Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have traced a deadly cat coronavirus in a way that changes what you think you know about immune infections. Their work shows that feline infectious peritonitis, or FIP, spreads through far more immune cells than scientists long assumed. The findings may also help guide research into long COVID and other lasting inflammatory illnesses in people. FIP starts with a common feline coronavirus. Most cats never get seriously ill from that virus. In some cats, though, the virus changes inside the body and turns dangerous. The result is FIP, a disease that is almost always fatal if left untreated. It can trigger intense inflammation, damage multiple organs, and bring...

Après la mort du chef du puissant Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion, tué dimanche par l’armée, le chercheur de l’International Crisis Group David Mora s’inquiète de la violence que pourraient générer des divisions au sein du groupe criminel et les convoitises d’autres cartels.

If you’ve been to a wedding or a downtown coffee shop in the last 10 years, you’ve probably seen those little lightboxes that are so popular these days. They consist of letters placed on a plastic frame in front of a dim white light, and they became twee about five minutes after your hipster friend first got one. However, they can also make a neat basis for an LED display, as [Folkert van Heusden] demonstrates. 
The build is straightforward enough, using daisy chains of 32×8 LED matrix modules, two each for the three rows of the lightbox. This provides for a 24 character textual display, or a total display resolution of 64 x 24 pixels. An ESP8266 is used to command the matrixes, which are run by MAX7219...

C’est en rangeant un truc lié au Virtual Boy que je suis tombé sur un accessoire dont je n’avais jamais parlé ici dans mes cartons : un adaptateur pour Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Entertainment System (on va dire Super NES Mini dans la suite) qui permet d’utiliser une manette Bluetooth. Et il est compatible avec la manette Super Nintendo pour Nintendo Switch Online. Le Super NES Mini, donc, c’est une console Nintendo sortie en 2017. C’est une reproduction de la Super NES dans un format compact. Elle existe dans les trois variantes de l’époque (Japon, États-Unis, Europe) et elle est basée sur une carte mère dotée d’un SoC ARM, avec un émulateur. Nintendo avait mis pas mal de...

Voilà 1492 jours que Vladimir Poutine a lancé une invasion à grande échelle irréaliste de l'Ukraine. Le 24 février 2026 marque le triste quatrième anniversaire du déclenchement de l'”opération spéciale” russe. 4 ans plus tard, le bilan de la progression russe est famélique et ce qui devait être une guerre “éclair” pour le Kremlin s'est transformé en une guerre d'attrition où les civils ukrainiens en paient le lourd tribut. En échec sur le front, l'armée russe cherche désormais à faire plier l'esprit de résistance ukrainien en plongeant les grands centres urbains dans le noir et le froid glacial. En échec sur le plan militaire, Moscou cherche à briser l'esprit de résistance...

The demoscene is still alive and well, and the proof is in this truly awe-inspiring game demo by [daivuk] : a Quake-like “boomer shooter” squeezed into a Windows executable of only 64 kB he calls “QUOD”. We’ve included the full explanation video below, but before you check out all the technical details, consider playing the game. It’ll make his explanations even more impressive.
OK, what’s so impressive? Well, aside from the fact that this is a playable 3D shooter in 64kB, with multiple enemies, multiple levels, oodles of textures, running, jumping et cetera–it’s so Quake-like he’s using TrenchBroom to make the levels. Of course he’s reprocessing them into a more space-efficient,...

Cette surtaxe, basée sur une loi de 1974, court jusqu’au 24 juillet et remplace les précédents taux déclarés illégaux par la Cour suprême il y a quelques jours. Le gouvernement devra obtenir un vote du Congrès s’il veut maintenir ces droits de douane sur la durée.

Longtemps éclaté, le paysage de la droite radicale dépasse ses clivages à la faveur de la numérisation, des dissolutions de mouvements, mais aussi du mot d’ordre fédérateur du « grand remplacement », expliquent la politiste Marion Jacquet-Vaillant et l’historien Nicolas Lebourg, dans une tribune au « Monde ».

The Industrial Revolution was powered by steam, with boilers being a crucial part of each steam engine, yet also one of the most dangerous elements due to the high pressures involved. The five Lancashire boilers at the Claymills Pumping Station are relatively benign in this regard, as they operate at a mere 80 PSI unlike e.g. high-pressure steam locomotives that can push 200 – 300 PSI. This doesn’t mean that refurbishing one of these boilers is an easy task and doesn’t involve plugging a lot of leaks, as the volunteers at this pumping station found out.
At this Victorian-era pumping station there are a total of five of these twin-flue Lancashire boilers, all about 90 years old after a 1930s-era...

Keep in mind that DeepSeek is expected to release a new flagship model any day now.

On a rooftop in Manhattan’s Garment District, a blue hexagonal machine hummed quietly while producing something unexpected: gasoline. The device, about the size of a commercial refrigerator, pulls carbon dioxide from the air and converts it into usable fuel. According to New York–based startup Aircela, the result can be poured straight into the tank of a standard car with no engine modifications required. Transportation accounts for about 28 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, with most of that tied to gasoline vehicles. Electric cars are often promoted as the solution, yet adoption remains limited. Only about 8 percent of vehicles on U.S. roads are electric today, and roughly 90 percent worldwide...

Viral videos have caused the stuffed animal to sell out.

If you want to reverse engineer a PC board, you could do worse than X-ray it.  But thanks to [Philip Giacalone], you could just take a photo, load it into PCB Tracer, and annotate the images. You can see a few of a series of videos about the system below.
The tracer runs in your browser. It can let you mark traces, vias, components, and pads. You can annotate everything as you document it, and it can even call an AI model to help generate a schematic from the net list. This is one of those things that you could do without. Any photo editor could do the same thing. But having the tool aware of what the photo is showing makes life easier. The built-in features are free, but if you use the AI tool, he says it...

EVs in their current form do not deliver the "specific emotional connection" Lamborghini says its cars need.

A monkey descending a tree trunk often keeps its head up, moving almost like a cautious climber backing down a ladder. Squirrels and many other mammals, by contrast, tend to go headfirst. That difference turns out to carry clues about how primates evolved their distinctive upright postures. A new comparative analysis of tree-dwelling mammals, published in eLife, examined how animals move down vertical supports such as trunks and vines. The research compared 21 arboreal species, from primates to rodents and marsupials, making it the first broad study to analyze both upward and downward climbing across many mammal groups. The results point to a pattern shaped not just by body size, but by evolutionary history...

The promise of free ice cream for life might sound like a joke. In Oakland, it became a tribute. After figure skater Alysa Liu captured Olympic gold at the 2026 Winter Games, the hometown celebration began almost immediately. Fentons Creamery, a longtime Bay Area institution, announced it would reward the 20-year-old champion with unlimited ice cream and host a public welcome when she returns from Italy. The gesture reflected something larger than dessert. It marked a city claiming one of its own. Liu’s victory carried historic weight. She became the first American woman to win Olympic gold in individual figure skating since 2002, ending a drought that had stretched across generations of fans. Her...

In mid-February, the Department of Justice lost its head antitrust enforcer - just weeks before it was scheduled to argue one of the year's biggest anti-monopoly cases in court. Antitrust Division chief Gail Slater announced her departure suddenly, via a post on her personal X account. But to those who follow the agency closely, it was far from surprising. For months, leaks about the division described tensions between Slater and her team with DOJ leadership, and President Donald Trump's penchant for personal dealmaking raised questions about who would really call the antitrust shots. Over the summer, two of Slater's top deputies were fi …

The last few years of Xbox have been expensive. Under Phil Spencer's leadership, Microsoft has spent billions of dollars in an attempt to build an ambitious future for gaming that looks a lot like Netflix. And while its subscription service Game Pass started out as a good deal for gamers (although now not so much), that spending spree has led to catastrophic layoffs, studio closures, and confused and inconsistent messaging about what Xbox actually stands for. And with Spencer set to retire as new leadership takes charge, the future of Microsoft's gaming efforts looks increasingly unclear.
Spencer announced his retirement last week, after ov …

Anthropic claims DeepSeek and two other Chinese AI companies misused its Claude AI model in an attempt to improve their own products. In an announcement on Monday, Anthropic says the "industrial-scale campaigns" involved the creation of around 24,000 fraudulent accounts and more than 16 million exchanges with Claude, as reported earlier by The Wall Street Journal.
The three companies - DeepSeek, MiniMax, and Moonshot - are accused of "distilling" Claude, or training a smaller AI model based on a more advanced one. Though Anthropic says that distillation is a "legitimate training method," it adds that it can "also be used for illicit purpose …

You can get an IDE to USB bridge from all the usual sources, but you may find those fail on the older drives in your collection– apparently they require drives using logical block addressing, which did not become standard until the mid-1990s. Some while some older drives got in on the LBA game early, you were more likely to see Cylinder-Head-Sector (CHS) addressing. That’s why [JJ Dasher], a.k.a [redruM0381] created ATABoy, an open-source IDE bridge that can handle the oldest drives that fit on the bus.
The heart of the build is an RP2350, which serves as both IDE and USB host controller. To computer, after a little bit of setup, the drive attached to ATABoy shows up as a regular USB mass storage device. A...

Opa Architecture broke down walls, brought in color, and created "islands of design" to update an Upper East Side penthouse for a family of five."The playdates are always at our place," says Brianna Tsarevsky about the penthouse she and her husband, Daniel, recently renovated on New York City’s Upper East Side. The couple previously lived in a 5,000-square-foot house with a yard in the suburbs—and their eagerness to host in a much smaller space shows just how well the renovation by Opa Architecture suits their family of five while marrying livability and personality with everything the big city has to offer. With few exceptions, "Everything is as good as it can be," Daniel says. Before: Entry Before: Prior...

Sergiy Kyslytsya is among those trying to negotiate an end to the conflict, which is entering its fifth year.

A shrimp scrap drifted down the face of a mirror, and a small reef fish tracked it like it was watching a slow-motion experiment. The fish, a blue-streak cleaner wrasse, had carried the shrimp upward, released it near the glass, and then followed its fall while repeatedly touching the mirror with its mouth. That sequence showed up days after the wrasse first met its own reflection. To the researchers watching from outside the tank, it looked less like feeding and more like curiosity aimed at the mirror itself. A team from Osaka Metropolitan University says this is a new, higher-order kind of mirror probing in cleaner wrasse (Labroides dimidiatus), a fish already known for passing the classic “mark test”...

Moscou n’a conquis que 0,75 % du territoire ukrainien au cours de l’année écoulée, à rebours des discours triomphalistes tenus à Moscou.

Le 24 février 2022, alors que la Russie envahit l'Ukraine, le monde a pensé que le droit international disposerait d'un arsenal assez puissant pour contraindre le président russe Vladimir Poutine. Quatre ans plus tard, malgré les Conventions de Genève et les mandats d'arrêt de la Cour Pénale Internationale contre Vladimir Poutine, les violations humanitaires sévissent toujours en Ukraine. Le droit international dévoile ses fragilités : ce n'est pas un bouclier protecteur mais un système paralysé par sa structure, dépourvu de force coercitive et instrumentalisé par les grandes puissances révisionnistes. Le droit international devient, ainsi, impuissant en temps de conflits. Cicéron l'affirmait...
