When you snap a selfie or film a video for social media, where does that information go? Find out how magnetic ‘storms’ could help us achieve better, faster data storage.
This is the story of how scientists created an image of the region around the black hole at the centre of our galaxy by combining many telescopes into one virtual telescope the size of the Earth.
A whole new world: you may have heard of rocky planets, gas giants and ice giants, but what about water worlds? Learn about the discovery of an entirely new planet type.
Recent images from ESA's Mars Express mission show two ruptures in the martian crust that form part of a mighty canyon system.
Meet the Higgs boson: what have physicists learned about this particle in the ten years since its discovery?
Recent results from EUROfusion’s JET experiment have demonstrated sustained high fusion power for the first time. These ground-breaking results could pave the way for fusion energy to play a key role in tackling climate change.
The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs struck Earth during springtime. Scientists have determined this by analyzing the remains of fish that died directly after the impact.
Capturing the moment: to use artificial photosynthesis to produce clean energy, we need to better understand it first. Learn about how X-ray free-electron lasers can help.
Science in School is published by EIROforum, a collaboration between eight of Europe’s largest intergovernmental scientific research organisations (EIROs). This article reviews some of the latest news from the EIROs.
