Photonic structures found in natural organisms are very sophisticated materials, developed during millions of years through natural evolution. When they interact with light, they give rise to astonishing visual effects. Beetles' elytra as well as butterflies' wings are among the most striking examples. Investigating these natural colours allows us to understand these optical behaviours, to...
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST, or Webb) is the new flagship mission from NASA and ESA. Webb was launched on December 25 2021 and is currently being deployed and commissioned in space. It will be orders of magnitude more powerful than previous missions with infrared "eyes". Webb will therefore push the boundaries of human knowledge even further, to the formation of the first galaxies and...
Today, no doubt is left about what causes the climate change we're all experiencing. We'll show three evidences: (1) climate is changing at a very fast rate, (2) climate change is due primarily to the increase of carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere and (3) the increase of carbon dioxide is solely due to the combustion of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), which still...
