As part of the Fête de la science, Denis from the Petits Resource Society gave a science tackling workshop while having fun with twelve kids on Wednesday the 13th October in the media library. The challenge was great : Understand how to move an image ! After the children became familiar with optical illusions with amazing pictures, they were able to make facing books, thomatrops or even animal binoculars. Ask them to show you their achievements, plus they will explain how it works !We have the right to make mistakes, and by doing so we learn, this is the Little…

Susanna Joshko told the Canadian press that the Trudeau government has shown leadership on the global stage in the fight against climate change. In particular, she noted that Canada has doubled its financial commitments and increased its targets for reducing carbon emissions. This puts pressure on other countries. Ms Gushko spoke about the issue as the UK prepares to chair the next UN Climate Change Conference, COP26, which will take place next month in Glasgow, Scotland. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had to face criticism from his political opponents and environmental groups during the last election campaign. Carbon emissions continued to…

Artificial photosynthesis could be a way to generate electricity without using fossil or non-renewable energies. It is also necessary to make the process profitable in terms of energy. Thus, a team of researchers developed a way to increase the production of electricity produced by microalgae.It is possible to produce electricity from photosynthesis!Algae, like all plants, convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. This process takes place thanks to the presence of certain proteins, lipoproteins. The benefit of algae is that the spectrum of light they can absorb is significantly greater than the spectrum of chlorophyll in plants. Thus, the photosynthetic properties…

Undoubtedly, this scarcity of labor taints the cheese co-op. Indeed, Fromagerie St. Albert has faced all the difficulties in the world to recruit new troops, and it has been doing so for several months. At least 25 to 40 workers will be required. If we have this pool available, we will hire them all, acknowledges the general manager of the cheese factory, Eric Fontaine. He does his best to make the company attractive to the workers. First, salaries have been increased and reviewed approximately every six months. basic salary [pour] Someone starts around $20 an hour. After a few months,…

It is very well preserved! The chances of finding fragile ossified soft tissue like that of an organ are very slim: 1 in a million!For this, they must be trapped in amber or very specific geological conditions must be met. Such was the case for this fossil of a Limulid, a family of marine arthropods resembling a horseshoe crab, found in Amazon Creek, Illinois (USA). 310 million years ago, its central nervous system was covered in vesiculitis before it collapsed. The space left by the organ was then filled with a white clay mineral, kaolinite, which allowed all the details…

The new classroom is brand new: large windows, overhead projector and above all plenty of space to accommodate several students. Lamotte Montraville Elementary School was in dire need of it. “The numbers are growing, and we also have double classes CP and CE1explains Christelle Bordelais Travers, who welcomes an average of 25 to 30 students in her CE2 class. We used the motor skills room as a classroom, and it became necessary to build a new classroom.” It opened on Saturday. exception when The trend is rather to close classrooms in the Dordogne. prove it The rural municipality is attracting…

Saudi Arabia, one of the world’s biggest polluters, said it would take part in international efforts to reduce global methane emissions (among the most famous greenhouse gases) by 30% by 2030. According to the United Nations, more than 130 countries have set or plan to set a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to a net zero level by 2050, a targetHIM-HER-ITUnited Nations Organization Judge it’s up To maintain a livable climate. Today I announce the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s goal of reducing zero emissions by 2060 thanks to a circular strategy for the carbon economyWhich aims to increase the…

Solid state, liquid state, and gas state. These are without a doubt the three best states of matter. But physicists know this, and there are quite a few others. States of matter that can be described as more exotic. For example, there is the Bose-Einstein condensate – first observed in 1938 – which corresponds to the condensation of bosons – particles like photons, for example – at the lowest energy level. Or, again, the state of superconductivity – which was discovered in 1911 – which mainly appears at a very low temperature, when the atoms that make up the material…

(Washington) The President of the US Central Bank said, on Friday, that “the time is approaching” to start reducing its purchases of assets, but he believes that it is “too early” to raise key interest rates soon, to 10 days from the next monetary session. Meeting. Posted on Oct 22, 2021 at 5:02pm “With the time approaching to reduce our asset purchases, it would be premature to tighten policy by raising interest rates now,” said Jerome Powell during a virtual conference, as that would “slow job growth.” “We are on the right track to begin phasing out our asset purchases,…

There are forbidden borders, a space journey to save lives and tribes of thinking animals to conquer plasmaCeline Maynard’s latest book. But that’s not what earned him being seen in the 2021 edition of the Medici, an award that would like to give a still unknown author all the fame that should come to him. This is how the French author deconstructs the novel to serve as an aperitif that keeps the reader in anticipation until the end. And, as in any good work of science fiction, the key to the puzzle is only at the end. You don’t come…
