Fake news, the reflection of a complex system

, ,
Presidential elections, health crises and the war in Ukraine are all events associated with the massive propagation of "fake news". The reasons for its emergence and the contexts in which it occurs are highly complex, requiring analysis on different levels. Anuragini Shirish, a researcher at Institut Mines-Télécom Business School, is working on establishing a link between fake news and economic and social indicators.

Destination moon with additive manufacturing using lunar dust

,
3D printing objects using lunar material is no longer science fiction. To facilitate the establishment of a base on the Moon, researchers at IMT Mines Albi are seriously examining this possibility. In the Institut Clément Ader (ICA) laboratories, they are striving to implement an additive manufacturing process using a terrestrial rock with similar properties to lunar dust. Their aim is to improve the autonomy of the Moon's first inhabitants.

Motion capture for health and sport
